Reception order/timeline

Hey girls, 

I was wondering if anyone could share their reception timeline. I don't know what goes where? Our first dance, father/daughter dance, cake cutting, toast, garter toss, bouquet toss, etc. I want to let the vendors know when, but I'm lost.

Thanks girls.

I JUST finished mine last week.  Obviously you can tailor to how ever many hours you have to work with or what ever else you need to include (mine does not include the father/daughter and mother/son dances...) but you get the idea nevertheless! :)

Thank you so much Kohler. This is such a HUGE help!! This may be really stupid, but what is a receiving line?

I don't have times yet, but this is the order:

Grand Entrance

First Dance

"Welcome/Thank You (by bride & groom)

Dinner (buffet)

Toasts (begin once all guests have been seated with food)

"Parental Dance" (father daughter and Mother Son)

Dancing

Money Dance

Cake

Garter & Bouqet Toss

Dancing

Last Dance

Move party to the Lounge/Bar for any guests still going strong :)  We love to dance the night away!

Interesting how some are doing the first dance right after the grand entrance(we are too) and some are doing it later. I'll post mine later.

The receiving line is just basically us standing there so we can say hello to everyone as they go by and they can tell us congratulations.  Traditionally you do it after the ceremony and the bridal party kinda stands in a line so all the guests can come through to congratulate you :)

Paddysgirl- I know, we are waiting to do our 1st dance only because the dance floor is in a separate area from where we are sitting for dinner. :)

Oh I see! Thank you girls so much for your help! It was all a little confusing for me!
