Tips for Selecting The Perfect Father/Daughter Dance

Have you made any considerations yet regarding your father/daughter dance?   Couples ask us frequently if they have any suggestions for good father/daughter dance ideas.   We have some great tips for ideas and suggestions to help you decide on that perfect song.    Aside from the first dance with your new husband, one of the most sentimental moments of your wedding reception will be the dance you have with your father.   Make the night truly unforgettable and pick the perfect song to dance with them.   Both of you will cherish the moment for the rest of your lives! 

What kind of relationship do you have with your dad?

If you are close and have a million memories that you cherish, then you may want to find the song that has the perfect words to describe your relationship.   We have lyric books that you are welcome to check out.    It will help you find the perfect song with the perfect meaning.   There are so many songs out there, which can describe almost any kind of relationship.  

Ask Them.

I know this seems elementary, but one of the best things to do if you are stumped, is to ask your dad what he would like to dance with you to.   Pick out the perfect song together.    Ask them for a few suggestions, they will be excited that you did, they may not know, but at least you asked for their input, and hopefully together you’ll find something that works.

How long do you want to be in the spotlight?

Another major consideration is the song length.   If you or your dad are introverts or feel uncomfortable dancing in the spotlight for a long time, then you might want to consider a shorter song.   You could either pick one, or better yet, have your DJ edit the song with less verses.   Another idea here, is to invite other dad’s and their daughters out to the dancefloor in the 2nd or 3rd verse, so all eyes are not necessarily on you.

One last consideration regarding the selection of your father/daughter dance is uniqueness of the song.   Originality does make a difference!   For example, do you want  a song that everyone knows like “I loved her first,”  “My little Girl,” or “I Hope You Dance” or would you prefer something that has special meaning written just for you.    There are several websites that offer exclusively father/daughter dances, give us a call we have plenty of ideas.

Remember, it’s all up to you, and it’s your decision, but be sure to think it through and put some time into it, you’ll be glad you did, and so will your Dad!

Good Luck!

Last night we celebrated with Aaron Nimmer and Shannon Thomas at the Rock Garden in Green Bay, WI.   The venue staff at their reception was amazing!   Can you believe they were able to feed 250 and get tables cleared and put away in 90 minutes?   Dinner was at 6:30 and we were rolling on the dance floor at 8pm.   The evenings festivities began with bridal party introductions to the Star Wars theme.   This was cool!   Other highlights included a candy bar, and their slide show which we put together for them.
