Reception Program Timeline?

Hey Ladies,
I have a question. I am considering making a folded card to put on each table that lists certain events happening at the reception and what time it is at. Whenever I go to a wedding, my primary concern is, "when is dinner?", lol....yes I am always thinking about food! So I was thinking about making these cards (excuse the look of it, I quickly put this together as a mockup), so that our guests will know when important events are happening. What do you think....good idea or no?

I think that's a fine idea and I think it's smart to make just one for each table. Or you could make a big poster board near the place card table that has the same info on it. I just worry that all the things we need to put on the reception tables will look cluttered and take away from the actual center piece.

Thanks "soon2bmrssstrassburg" that's a great idea. I think I am going to pick up a 5 x7" frame and put the timeline inside of that and put it at the place card table. Thank you for the suggestion! I agree i think it might clutter up the tables if I put one on each table.

i really like this idea.  i was thinking about providing the same thing.  Especially since we aren't having a dj or dancing.  We are going out on the town after.

This is so thoughtful! I have to blog about the program thing on mine from our wedding/reception. My husband and I exchanged words about this a month before the wedding and he didn't want a so called "SCHEDULE", (program)...He just wanted to go with the flow with the guests and enjoy ourselves. Anyway, you know I printed them anyway...Do you know that we didn't even do the program layout at the reception? After the renewals, we mingled with guests all night long and didn't even do the first dance, word search, champagne raffle, garter and others. Dinner was set at 6:00 p.m. and people started eating when they arrived at 4:00!!!! YEA...I'm writing about it...but it was ok, because me and hubby were an hour late!! So, it turned out ok...but everyone was having such a good time it didn't even matter. Stay tunned to blog part 9...HA!

i think this is such an amazing idea.  you truly are one of the most creative people i know:) it is so thoughtful for your guests and i love the way this looks.  i know as a guest i would definately appreciate this.  have you ever been at a wedding and it's after dinner and you want to either get up and step outside for a second or you need a bathroom break but you are worried about interrupting either the speeches or the first dance?  i know i have experienced that before and this is such a thoughful way for your guests to know how the night will go on.  amazing job :)

Cute idea...I'm not sure if I'll put up a schedule or not but I am stressing about the schedule! haha I feel like it's so much crammed in a 3 hour reception (because we have a 1 house cocktail reception)....intros, first dance, blessing, dinner, toasts, father/daughter, mother/son, cake cutting, anniversary dance, garter toss, bouquet toss, and all the fun dancing in between! lol it's so much...
