Perform at Reception?

If you keep it short ... 5-7minutes it won’t take up much time.

I wouldn't be concerned about time since it would likely be less than 10 minutes, but I would find it odd as a guest to watch the bride put on a show when it's what she does for a living and it has nothing to do with her marriage.

Personally, I would just skip the performance. You only have one day to enjoy your wedding, why add work into it? Not to mention all the added stress of learning a routine, having the bridesmaids learn a routine, worrying about time constraints, changing clothes, etc. Plus, I find it kind of cheesy for brides and grooms to showcase their talents at their weddings. You have every other day in your life to do that. I’d just stick to being the bride & enjoying your day!

I 100% agree with all of this.

View Quoted Comment I agree with you. It would seem kind of odd to me. Focus on the wedding.

Yes, time goes by so fast and some of it is a blur. Soak up the moments you can to enjoy your ceremony, moments with your spouse & guests. I’d also find it awkward as a guest.

I'm 4 weeks out from my wedding. My energy is drained, my mind is stressed. Everyone asks what they can do to help, but I'm at that point where I'm the only one who can do stuff. (Confirming and paying for things and running errands.)
Choreographing a dance routine and rehearsing it with or without friends does not feel like something I want to add to my to do list at this point.

I agree with others that I'd probably skip this. I think it's a know your crowd issue. Personally, even if they are a professional, I find "performances" at events kind of extra.... I'd focus on being a bride not a performer at my wedding. If you and your friends are organically awesome dancers, separately and together, during the open dancing part of the reception, that's great. But as a guest I find it awkward to be asked to sit and watch the bride and/or groom "perform" something. They are already, rightfully, the center of attention for the day.

I think that’s kind of cool ! But I agree if you think there’s too much going on and the timeline is already tight then I’d skip it. The time DOES fly by on your wedding day though

I know of a very famous person who has--Lin Manuel Miranda!

I'm going to disagree with everyone else and say that personally, I would LOVE to see a performance like this at a wedding. There is nothing wrong with being extra, btw.
