Our wedding dance expert, Jeff Allen, would like to strongly suggest that The First Dance, Father and Daughter Dance, etc. occur before dinner immediately upon the Bride and Groom's introduction to the reception area, for several good reasons...continued below

Primarily, it allows the dancing to begin much earlier in the reception thereby eliminating a lull in activities that so often happens. Once the bride and groom have danced, and then the parents and attendants, then the guests will feel comfortable dancing while others may be eating or in a buffet line. This will allow many of the guests who know how to ballroom and Latin dance to do so on a non-congested dance floor.

It is common for the older guests to leave earlier in the evening, unfortunately, without the opportunity to, 'cut a rug' when the wedding dance scenario is left for after dinner. The music and its tempo should become more youthful as the evening continues leaving the opportunity for all to have a great time dancing.

If this order is maintained, the First Dance, and attendants' dance, should not be affected by the consumption of alcohol by any or all of the wedding party. No one wants to restrict anyone's fun or chance to relax. Like driving, dancing is best when concentration is optimum. Toasting the wedding party and relatives are best left until this beautiful portion of wedding day is complete.
