Your Timeline
- Save time later by doing your first dance after your grand entrance.
- Any special dances or performances taking place during the reception should get added to the schedule.
- Make sure the DJ gets a list of songs with personal meaning for you and your guests ahead of time. Include uncommon ethinic music – such as polkas, tejano, etc.
- Well-timed clips from movies and TV shows get laughs and can add meaning.
- Make sure your DJ has the information for your facility and or anyone else making decisions about the timeline and activities taking place that day.
Special Dances
- Dollar Dance
- Anniversary Dance
- Hand out props such as feather boas, goofy hats and costumes later in the evening. People will get a little crazy and the photo opportunities are hilarious.
