What type of dancing should I expect at an evening wedding reception?

These days it's a combination of a little bit of everything. Slow of course but the ones I've been to mix it up a little too. It really depends on the age of the couple being married too...

Have an evening candlit ceremony back home with a dessert or hors d'ourves buffet at the reception instead of a full on meal.  When I got married I contemplated eloping, but realized I would regret not having my dad walk me down the aisle or having our dance....so, depending on what means the most to you, you should be able to decide what is best.  Congrats and good luck!

I think it's Great! \n\nTo Belize, There's no dancing during the Recessional--It's when the bride and groom walk down the aisle together after the ceremony, and the Recessional Music Should Be the Most Lively music played during the ceremony, as it's a moment of triumph of love.\n\nOf course the rest of the wedding party follows them out while the song plays.  \n\nAnd by the way my hubby and I are going to dance to Thank You by Led Zeppelin as our first dance at our Renewal Ceremony.  (We eloped 25 years ago and are throwing ourselves a wedding for the big anniversary.)

If you're a close friend or family member, you'll want to get there about 45-60 minutes before hand so you can get a good seat and actually see the ceremony.  If you have a different relationship then close friend or family of the couple, then getting to the ceremony at least 20-30 minutes ahead of the start time is acceptable.  If you are going to the reception, you'll want to arrive around the time scheduled.  Often the wedding party is still taking pictures or doing something on their way to the reception so it doesn't always start on time.  If dinner is being served at a specific time, get there about 15 minutes early to find your seat.  Hope that helps!

Whatever colours you like.  \n\nIf you are getting married outside, you should probably opt for the morning (before 10am) or later in the evening (after 5 or 6).  And be sure to provide shade for your guests - they'll be waiting out in the sun for probably an hour, so think of their health and comfort.

Don't tend to 'til my wedding night! \n\n;)

Dance on the street of night!

Just play a mixture of songs like they do at a regular ballroom.  Elvis has a lot of swing music that your daughter can boogie to!  Have you ever been to a ballroom dance?  If not, it's not what you think.  I know a lot of people think it is all orchestra music and the like, but we dance to all kinds of contemporary music and rock and roll.

Wear a dress - something nice.  The proper dress for a synagogue is "dressy" but not "formal".  If you like, "cocktail" or "business" attire would be appropriate.\n\nYour parents should only come if invited specifically.  At most bar / bat mitzvahs, a very large number of the invitees ARE boys and girls near in age to the boy/girl being honored that day.  So you will have plenty of company!\n\nAfter a synagogue service, likely 2 hours in length (maybe less, probably not much more), there will be a party where you can eat, socialize, and dance with your friends.  The party will likely go another 3-5 hours, when you include the meal.  Of course, you should not be shy about asking his/her parents.  They would know best of all!\n\nLast, it is appropriate to bring a small gift for the occasion.  A gift certificate or small item less than $25 is completely appropriate.  Maybe a CD, DVD, or game?  Or, if you don't know what to get, that certificate could be a lifesaver for you.\n\nThese occasions are much more about the younger invitees having fun than the older ones.  Some parents hire professional dancers to help entertain (and to show the kids a few moves) and other parties go even further.  So, go, have fun, and dance with a boy you like!

The dress sounds very nice.  For formal, make sure you wear nice/dressy shoes (pumps rather than wedges or sandals, for example), in black to go with the black dress.  Also, make sure they're not so high that you can't dance in them.  Hair up with long narrow (dangle) earrings would be very dressy -- just remember that "less is more" so you don't want to go with big hair and big earrings and lots of makeup.  It's better to focus on one area with jewelry (earrings OR necklace, but not big with both) and one area with makeup (smoky eyes and neutral lips or neutral eyes and brighter lips).  Then take a long look in the mirror and make sure everything looks right -- and then hold your head high and have a wonderful time!

You've already got a good head on your shoulders! You know what's right and wrong. There's no problem at all with you sharing a dance with a guy (As long as you remain vertical). I would answer in the exact way you already suggested - "Sure, but I am married". Let's him know up front that you're committed, and still allows you both to share the dance he asked for. Good luck!

Introduce the bride & groom as they enter the reception, "ladies & gentleman...may I introduce Mr & Mrs  John Smith"...applause applause...you would also do the a toast...tell some funny story about them as children or some anetdote (sp?) that their parents might share...and wish them much happiness yadda yadda...also introduce the band, thank everybody for coming...make various announcements as needed...that sort of thing...oh..& dress real nice too!

after wedding festivities like the banquet, dancing, toasts, cake, etc.?

It all depends on what kind of party you want...wild and crazy or more low key.  Here are some suggestions.\n\n-bar hopping\n-wine tasting\n-spa day\n-comedy club\n\nWhatever you do, make it fun and embarassing for the bride (it's tradition).  Make her wear a cheap veil and/or custom t-shirt indicating that she is the bride-to-be (you can get these at party stores or online, Ebay is great).  You can also look online for ideas for naughty scavenger hunts for the girls to do if you go out to the bars/clubs.

Go for drinks at Red Feather on Friday night. Usually a hip DJ there and cool people w/o being flashy like Bardenay.

when we got married we picked the songs we wanted to dance to for our special dances other than that the djs usually have a paper and a list f sngs they have with them so people can make requests. You definately want a variety if you want people to get up and dance
