Hi! Just wondering when the first dance is suppose to be. Before or after dinner? Thanks!
 
i think first before so u will get hungry and then after so the food will get digested properly. what do you think
 
I've seen both and I generally prefer the dance before the dinner.

That way, as the guests finish dinner, they can feel free to get up and start dancing if they choose. It just helps with the flow and keeps the party from dying. A lot of times, the bride and groom don't get to eat quickly because people are talking to them or they have stuff to do and the guests are just stuck sitting around if the dancing hasn't been opened by the couple yet.
 
To me, it makes more sense to do it after dinner. I've also heard that more people in general do that than having it before dinner.
 
It can be whatever you'd think. It is usually before dinner. The bridal party usually walks in and then the bride and groom walk in. Then the DJ usually calls the bride and groom to dance their first dance together and then invites the bridal party to dance with their respective partners.

But before is more common.
