Traditionally, it's the bride and groom that have the first dance. Towards the end of the song the band/DJ will invite the rest of the bridal party to join in. Once that song is over the bride stays on the dance floor and everyone else sits down, then her dad will come forward and they do the father/daughter dance. When that dance is done it's time for the groom to dance with his mother. And sometimes after cutting the cake the bride and groom will have the dance floor to themselves if they choose for a second dance.

Order Of Dances At Wedding

Here is a typical reception that is broken down for you. Keep in mind in this day and age you can do WHATEVER you want. Stick in a special dance where you feel it will fit best. Just speak with your event planner/DJ/Band about what you want and please GET IT IN WRITING! If they mess up your order of events then you might receive a partial rebate on the amount you paid because they did not do as they were contracted.
First Hour:
Cocktail hour -waiters serve guests champagne and hors d’oeuvres. If you are not having a formal gathering then guests just mingle and snack on the finger foods you ahve set up.
Formal photograph’s taken - of Bride and Groom, family and wedding party. If you want to avoid this time being spent here then plan on your photograph's being taken at least 1 - 2 hours before your wedding so you have additional time to enjoy your reception. Make sure you take your make-up for any after ceremony touch ups you or any person of your wedding party might need. Don't forget the visine!
Second Hour:
Announcement of wedding party
Traditional order: groom's parents, bride's parents, flower girl and ring bearer, bridesmaids escorted by ushers, maid of honor escorted by best man, Bride and Groom
Bride and Groom's first dance
Champagne toast - marks the end of cocktail hour and cash bar begins. If you don't have a cash bar then disregard that information.
Dinner served
Third Hour:
Cut cake
Dancing
Special dances in order: Bride with father, then Groom with mother, and Wedding party dance
Fourth Hour:
Bouquet toss
Garter toss
Last dance of Bride and Groom
Grand exit - Go have fun on your honeymoon!!!
Remember this is your day and tradition is what you make of it. You may tailor it anyway that you see fit. Do what you want, not what others expect you to do. Have fun with it !!!

The bride and groom have the first dance. Then the bride and her father. Then the groom and his mother. After that, everyone else just comes onto the dance floor in no particular order. And there is no law that says you HAVE to do it in any particular way. The world won't end if you mix up the order of the dances at a wedding, believe me.

bride and groom bride and father groom and mother wedding party The bride and groom and bride and father are really the only ones people expect to see anymore. We did our bride and groom dance immediately after we were announced in the reception. That is called "East Coast Style," then after people ate we did the other dances. Hire a DJ who knows what they are doing and talk to him about it too

I really depends on the DJ/Band. I have seen both. I prefer the bride/groom first with the wedding party joining it half way. Then the father/ daughter dance with the mother/son joining in. Very nice.

The bride and groom always start the dance, then the bride and her father, and the groom and his mother. After that, everyone can join in. The maid of honor and best man are not required to dance together.
