Hi Donna I think the Father of the Bride dance is first then he hands over to the groom :)

All the weddings I've seen a father-daughter dance at they've been after the "first dance", which is the one with bride and groom. (I'm a wedding photographer.) They don't actually happen that often either!

I've never personally understood this tradition tbh. But I think if you're having it then it goes after the bride and groom.

I think it's supposed to be afterward, but it's entirely up to you how you do it :)

I'm planning on having mine later. I like the idea of the "first dance" being literally the first dance when the music starts. Then to save boring everyone think gonna be a couple songs before father daughter dance but that one is gonna be open to all dads and daughter invited to join in

Father & Daughter dance is an American Tradition. I hate how all these things are coming over here

The whole idea of your 'first dance' is exactly that. Your first dance and your first dance with your new husband. Dad and daughter dances are more common place now but tend to be after your first dance. Your getting married to your husband not your dad

We done the bride and groom dance first then the father and daughter dance straight after x

It was an old excuse me dance where fathwr and daughter start and husband taps father on shoulder and father steps aside, very significant in the unofficial passing of resonsibility for you from father to new husband. Warning can make mob cry:)!
