I need advice on this reception timeline

I am going to supply my vendors with this timeline. Specifically because we are having a band and a dj from a different company and I want to be sure that they know the flow of the evening. I will be giving this to the photographer, videographer, band, dj, Maitre d' and my day of coordinator. Do you think this is okay? Am I missing anything? Also, are the bo-toss and garter toss done after the same meal course? Or can they be done separately. Then the putting the garter on the bo-k winner at the end? Thanks!!

its your choice who does the rest of the night....but that seems fine as long as they blend together.......and not stop and go (but ti will sound so nice having both variations)

WC-I forgot about the dancing in between the toast and the first course.

I don't want to do the dances after the cake cutting. At our e-party, FH's entire side of the party left after the cake and I can see them doing the same at the wedding so I want to do those before. People...
