Deciding on your first dance song can be simple for some couples who have ‘their song’ but for those who are a little undecided, it can be a lot more challenging. Plus, what if you met on the dance floor? You’re song could just as easily be a Soulja Boy classic (remember him?)!
Or, you may just have very different tastes. Maybe he’s a metal head and you love nothing more than a nice Michael Bublé song. We don’t know if a Michael and Motorhead mash-up would work, but if it doesn’t, here are some tips on choosing your first dance song:
A Song That Reminds You of Something Special
Maybe it was playing in the first movie you went to see, the first restaurant, or a concert. Any artist or song that reminds you of a fun event like a holiday is always a good starting point.
Something You Both Love
Is there a band or song that you connected over when you first met? Could be a good opportunity to get a band to cover it for your wedding!
Theme
Other ideas for choosing your song could come from a song that fits the theme of you wedding. If you’re having a retro wedding or maybe a summer festival style wedding, why not shape your music around this for atmosphere?
Fun Songs
Just because it’s your first dance, it doesn’t mean it has to be a soppy number. If you’re not into slow numbers, it’s perfectly fine to choose a fist-pumping tune! Your song should reflect your personality as a couple or how you feel about the day. Plus, it will really get the party started!
What do you think about the idea of a first dance song? Will you be skipping it altogether?
