Dance Songs?

Sarah, on May 26, 2019 at 11:06 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 5
Here is a little bit of background information: Both my fiance and I are fatherless. His dad passed away when he was 13 from cancer, and mine was a deadbeat and I don't know him. We both have our moms.

We thought perhaps I could do a mother-daughter dance instead of a father-daughter dance, OR we could do a joint mothers dance together in which we both dance with our moms at the same time. We are having an outdoor garden reception, so it isn't extremely formal and we won't have an actual dance floor.

Anyway, does anyone have any great recommendations for either mother-daughter songs, or neutral mother songs that could be played while we both dance with our moms?

    Hi Sarah! I think it’s such a great idea to have you both dance with your moms. They will both be so proud to be involved in your wedding day this way.

    There are so many songs that you could pick from that doesn’t have to specifically mention a mother-son or mother-daughter relationship that would work perfectly for you to dance to at the same time.

    Some suggestions I have are ‘A Song for Mama’ by Boyz II Men, ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong, ‘Because You Loved Me’ by Celine Dion and ‘All You Need is Love’ by The Beatles. Have you thought about what genre of song you would like? Would you like a slow song or something more upbeat?

    Thanks for your reply! Those are great songs. My fiancé doesn't want something too upbeat because he is not a dancer! The main exclusion for us is country. Neither of us are fans.
