What to Expect During Your Wedding Reception
A wedding reception typically lasts three to five hours, so planning ahead is essential to maximize your enjoyment. Here’s a breakdown of how you might structure this special event.
The First Hour
Kick off the reception with wedding photos. Even if you took pictures before the ceremony, this is a great time to capture more moments with family and friends. Ensure music is playing as soon as the first guests arrive to set a joyful mood. Set up a receiving line to welcome everyone. Ideal songs for introducing the wedding party include "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles and "At Last" by Etta James.
The Second Hour
As the reception unfolds, the bride and groom, along with their guests, should be settled in. This hour is perfect for the couple’s first dance, followed by the father-daughter and mother-son dances. Keep the atmosphere lively with mood-setting music.
The Third Hour
Time to dine! Hungry guests will appreciate the serving of dinner, with the wedding party typically served first. As guests enjoy their meal, the best man gives the first toast, setting the stage for the evening’s celebrations.
The Fourth or Final Hours
The latter part of the reception features engaging traditions like the bouquet toss, followed by the groom throwing the garter. The last dance signals the end of a memorable event, culminating in the couple's grand exit. By the evening's conclusion, you'll have happy and well-fed guests.
Use this timeline as a guide to plan your wedding reception with your planner and vendors, ensuring a smooth and joyful celebration.
