What is your schedule for the day of your ceremony? I'd especially love to hear from you ladies who are also getting married at 5pm!

    Getting married at 6:15 (invitations say 6, but we have a lot of tardy relatives). So far our itinerary looks something like this:

    9 AM: Breakfast

    10 AM: Hair/nails

    12 PM: Lunch

    1:30 - 4 PM: Make-up and relaxing at the hotel, getting ready pictures

    5 PM: arrive at chapel, bride gets dressed, groom/groomsmen have pictures taken

    5:30 PM: bride/bridesmaids have pictures taken

    6:00 PM: guests start arriving, bride hides in a closet guzzling mimosas

    6:15 PM: ceremony starts

    6:45 PM: ceremony ends, cocktail half-hour begins, pictures with family

    7:15 PM: bride and groom make entrance, eat

    7:45 PM: bride and groom do first dance, other dances follow

    8:00 PM: cake cutting?

    10:45 PM: bride and groom escape

    11:00 PM: after gathering decorations, gifts and leftover cake, wedding party exits

    This is a REALLY rough draft.

    Oh, meant to say just subtract an hour for any of those and it might give you a good idea of when to schedule your activities.

    @Crystal P could you please send me your example of your wedding day timeline? I know things don't have to be perfect and glitches may happen. But it's I'd rather have a guideline

    Thanks in advance

    Hello ladies! I am also having a 5pm and would love to see some of your timelines. I'm surprised at how difficult it has been to find samples for this time. I would love an e-mail at *****.******@*****.***. Thanks!
