Reception order of events help!!!!!

Ok, I am trying to do a timeline for the DJ and I don't really know the order of things!!! I need to know how the reception normally flows.

Like:
When does the couple do the first dance, after the introduction?

When do the MOH and BM make their speeches?

When do we cut the cake?

When is the garter toss?

When do the parent dances happen?

Ahhhh I am more cluless than I thought!

Whats the typical order of events? TIA ladies!

Are you changing around the order that you want? I spoke to my DJ on this and he told me he knows the order and we'll go over all of it at our last meeting and we'll move things around then if we want to.

We moved some things around, like parent dances. I was at a wedding recently and felt they interrupted the flow on the dance floor too much so we wanted to get more stuff out of the way while people are eating.

Parent entrances
BP Entrance
Our Entrance
First dance
Father/Bride Dance
Mother/Groom Dance
BM/MOH speeches
Dinner/Dancing
Cake cutting
More eating
Garter removal
Bo-k toss
Garter toss

We didn't do a garter dressing or anniversary dance.

HTH!
