wedding day timeline

[DreaW]

Hi girls do any of you have your timeline for the day of the wedding. For example: What time wedding starts, what time is first dance, what time is mother son and father daughter dance...

 

Basically what you would give to your coordinator or dj so you know what you will do and at what time.....

 

thanks

Mine is pretty much an exact replica of Nicole's- just a few times and the names changed! I totally stole it from her... thanks Nicole!

ok here it is- still tweaking it a little- but we are doing the dances and stuff right off so that Juan will still be there and so that we can get it all done with and start the PARTY!!!

A couple comments about timelines...esp to Nicole!

 

You won't run on time. You might be close, but it's really hard to keep on track unless you obsess- I refused to, therefore we ran late. Oh well, I didn't care- just FYI.

 

Juan will spend waaayyyyy more time taking pics of you Nicole than anyone else- you might want to allow more time in your timeline for pics of you and the girls, rather than of the guys- right now you've got more time for the guys.

 

You're not going to get sunset pics with the timeframe you have. If that doesn't matter to you, then your timeline is fine. If you want them, decide if you're going to take limited pics with Juan, and then go to the reception and break away later, or just show up at the reception late. We had a small group and therefore elected to just show up at the reception late (we didn't get there until almost 8:00- our timeline called for us to be there at about 7). I didn't think of this during my planning, so just some food for thought. It's amazing how fast the time flies when you're there and how much time pics can take. Our pictures were pretty much our #1 priority, so that's where we spent our time...

sarah-----hmmmm, so what time do i need to take pics in order to get sunset? mariana said it wont set until around 7:30- is that wrong? what shoudl i change? i changed the initial time to allow more of me (i love being selfish-haha!) already. thanks so much for the tips- i know it wont stay on time but the closer i can get it the better. let me know what you think.

[NHPT]

OK sarah- how is this- i dont really care too much about staying on time i just want to make sure we do all the dances and cut the cake before Juan leaves at 8:30- i guess worst case scenario i could ask him to stay a little longer if we run really late.

 

how long did yall take pictures?
