Your First Dance Wedding Song
You have been waiting your whole life for this moment, and you have so much planning to do.
One special part of that planning includes picking the first dance wedding song for your romantic first dance with your new spouse. You may have been envisioning this first dance for years, and the song you pick will become part of the romance and special memories of your wedding day. Everyone will be watching as the two of you take the floor for your first dance as husband and wife…
For this choice, there can be as many sources of inspiration as there are couples, and if you’re looking for ideas, here are a few tips to help get the ball rolling…and the music playing!
- Culture: If there is a strong cultural influence on one or both sides and you would like to honor this, ask some relatives for their choice in songs that come from this unique background. A selection in this genre will be very much appreciated by guests to whom this music will be very special.
- First Dance Romance: Is there a song that is special to you and your spouse-to-be? Perhaps a certain song reminds you of when you first met, or maybe it was playing on your first date. The song need only be special to the two of you; for your first dance, no one else in the Universe matters.
- Ask your parents: Is there a type of music that was popular back when they met or got married? Many couples choose to pay tribute and thanks to their parents by choosing to include some music from their parents’ era at their weddings. This can be very touching for members of the guestlist who are old enough to remember the music, and will enjoy the nostalgia. This is applicable to all the music for the evening, and not just your first dance wedding song.
- DJ: For the most popular wedding song ideas, your disc jockey (if you hire one) would be a great source for choosing your first dance song, and will also be able to help with advice on the current trends for wedding celebrations and parties. He or she is an expert, and will be able to tell you what is popular currently.
