Reception Activities

We are getting married Sept 25, I need help with activities for my reception, and perhaps the order they go in and when to start them. The reception starts at 2 o clock. When should we serve lunch? When does the bride and groom do their first dance? Father/Daughter dance? Thank You.

Normally it starts with introducing the parents, wedding party and finally you as the new Mr & Mrs. Then I`ve seen this done two ways you could open the dance floor with your dance, then speech, then lunch, then parent dances, Flower toss, garter toss, and cutting of the cake. Or Speech, Lunch, your dance, parent dances, flower toss, garter toss and cutting of the cake. But really if you have a good DJ who has done a lot of weddings, He/ she should take care of that for you.
