Traditional Mexican Wedding Timeline

Hi Melina! Here’s what I would suggest:


5:00-5:15- Bridal Entrance 5:15-5:20-First Dance5:20-Blessing5:25-Dinner Served5:25-Toasts7:00-cut cake7:10- Parent dances7:20-Garter/Bouquet Toss7:25-open dance floor9:00-Traditional Mexican Dances to begin
Keep in mind if you want sunset photos to google the sunset time in your area and put in timeline. Our DJ was really helpful with our timeline and worth running it past your DJ/band and by your photographer. Good luck and hope this helps!! ❤️

Let me say that I love weddings including those type of traditions ! Your day will surely be wonderful !

Hello, I am having the same issue and the exact same time line. What song are you planning for the father daughter dance? My dad is older and mainly listens to Rancheras so I'm struggling to find a good song.

Hi Meliza!! We started with out reception entrance and went straight into our first dance, then also did our toasts and parents dances during dinner. Here's a good order of events for American receptions you can use as a starting point:

El Baile Del Mandilon usually happens after La Vibora and before the cake cutting!

View Quoted Comment My dad is the same so I know ranchera is not the same as banda but we found a nice song “Al final de nuestro amor” however be prepared with that waterproof makeup! congratulations and good luck
