First Dance Surprise

So my fiancé and I have thrown around the idea of giving our parents their own “first dance”.
Both my parents and my fiancé’s parents got married at the courthouse and never had an actual ceremony.
I saw this idea on Tiktok where another bride gave her parents their own special dance after their first dance and I really liked that idea. Both my parents and his having always supported us and their really helping us with everything to do with the wedding. I really wanted to do something special for them and I really like this idea. I guess I’m asking for opinions on if you guys think this is a good idea or if you have any other ideas for something special for them that we could do? Also if you have any song suggestions for their dance that would be appreciated! ❤️

I think that’s adorable. I would suggest combining both parents into one song if you’re also planning on doing the first dance, mother-son, father-daughter dances, just to limit the number of performative dances people are watching.

It sounds like a really cute idea. However, whether or not it's a good idea depends on their personalities. If they are more introverted and shy, they may not want the spotlight on them, but if they're the type of people who enjoy the spotlight every now now then, I think it's adorable.

What if you all of you danced to the same song with you and your fiance on the floor first, the next parent couple joining during a certain frame, and then the next parent couple? That way it's not a bunch of separate songs and no one feels super uncomfortable with the spotlight if they're shy?

I think the idea is great. . .but how different is it than the parents dance that normally happens during the reception? Just an announcement by the DJ?
Also agree and say it would really depend on their personalities and how much they want the spotlight on them during you and your husband's day.

Only you know if the parents would actually enjoy this. Do they like to dance? Do they like being center of attention?
The other consideration is, the dances are often boring for other guests. I know that many people have been eliminating or cutting down on the Mother/Son Father/Daughter type solo dances for this reason and doing them at the same time.
