Separating the first dances

Posted on 7/17/2008 at 11:10:31 AM

Recently I came across the idea of separating the first dances, so that guests don’t get bored and start talking during the dances. You’d do the B&G first dance right as you enter the reception hall (perhaps the DJ or a band MC introduces you), then dinner is served immediately after. Then, once everyone’s had 30 or 45 minutes to sit, eat, chat, etc, call the first dances for mother/son and father/daughter. Followed by toasts, then cake, then get your party on. Brilliant? I thought so.
