You should list the order in which you would like the bridal party to be introduced. Bridesmaids and groomsmen regularly are introduced pair by pair, with the bride and groom introduced last. You should write down verily how you would like yourselves (bride and groom) to be introduced.. Eg; Anne & John; Anne & John Smith; Mr and Mrs Smith; Anne Jones and John Smith.)

Welcome

After the bridal party is seated is the best time for a welcome speech and / or Grace. If you want either or both, who will do this? The Mc or a family member.

Entree is then served. After entree, the Bride and Groom will regularly have time to circulate among their guests. The Mc will let you know when main policy is about to be served. After main policy is cleared and the champagne is poured, the speeches will commence.

Speeches

A typical speech agenda regularly includes the following:

• Initial toast to the Bride & Groom, made by a family member or friend;
• Response by Groom / Bride, along with a toast to the Bridal Party;
• Speech by Best Man, or other Bridal Party members;
• Telegrams, if any.

You should list the speeches / toasts that you would like to join into your agenda In Order. Add any speeches that fire not along with the list above, or delete any. It is foremost that you are comfortable with the agenda which can be as original or as informal you like.

Formalities

After the telegrams, the Mc will request you to cut your wedding cake, and request you onto the dance floor for your Bridal dance, if you are having one. This will open the first bracket of dancing. dessert will be served after this bracket.

Farewell

To close the evening a circle can be organised practically 15 minutes before the end of the function. The Bride can throw the bouquet and the Groom can throw the garter (if you select to have these ) from the centre of the circle and then make their way colse to the circle to farewell the guests.

How will you be leaving? Taxi? Hire car! Friends/own car? Make sure you organise all details about this.

Alternatives:

-Cutting the cake just after the Bridal party enter at the start of the night.
-Bridal dance after entree followed by a dance bracket
-Speeches in in the middle of entree and main course
-Speeches while main course.

(These are regularly to save time for dancing)

Remember, directly after the speeches it is wise to organise a dance bracket as this is a logical transformation from the formalities to the festivities, with the bride and groom foremost the first dance. Even if you have already had your bridal dance, you can use a dedication to the bride and groom. It's your day. Your guests want your personal] feel and attention. If you and your bride party are on the dance floor, chances are about 90% of your guests will be too.
