Wedding Song Ideas
Whether you are hiring a DJ, live band or having someone you know play CD’s for your wedding, it is important to do some research and planning to ensure a fun filled wedding reception. The popularity of wedding songs keeps evolving. The most often played first song in the 1960’s – 1980’s was “More” and “Because”. Make a list of possible songs that you would like to have as your: First Dance
Father/Daughter Dance
Mother/Son Dance
Bouquet and Garter Toss
Cake Cutting Song
Last Dance
A four-hour wedding reception will result in about fifty songs being played. Choose between ten and fifteen “must have” songs and give your list to your music person well in advance of your wedding. Guests will remain at your wedding reception till the end if they are having a good time. Having your emcee announce that they will be happy to accommodate requests will ensure your guest’s pleasure. Let your music person know if there are any special birthdays or anniversaries that you would like to acknowledge. Professional DJ’s and live bands adapt their music to the personality of the crowd mixing slow and fast numbers until they determine what the guests prefer. Listen to songs on the radio, the music at other weddings that you attend and check the Internet to find more wedding song ideas.
