Quick songs

Mrs!, on May 3, 2019 at 7:16 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 9
Do any of you guys know good songs for the parent dances that are around 2 minutes? Trying to find shorter songs because we want less attention & less eyes on us. Also we are doing parent dances at the same time so we have more room for more upbeat songs after. Instead of 3 slow songs in a row, it would be two.

    Normally people just have the dj cut whatever song they pick.

    Oh, so we can do that? Do you think our parents would get offended, or is this common? Me and my FH just REALLY aren’t the type to want a lot of attention...we are going to say our actual vows to each other in private and just say short generic vows in front of everyone because that’s just not how we are hahaha. We are very private and also not used to being “life’s of the party” so just having a wedding in general (under 100 people thankfully) is already a big step for us! Smiley xd plus...STAGE FREIGHT!

    Yeah usually you tell your DJ how long you want to dance for or they read your cues and they fade it out. I’ve never seen anyone dance to a whole song!

    I agree with Kelly. You can have the DJ fade it out. You can also invite others to join you part way through the song. We're doing this for the father/daughter dance )and probably the mother-son dance) about 30 sec to 1 min in the DJ will invite all fathers/daughters to join us on the dance floor.

    This is wise. We cut our songs to 90 seconds and it still felt long. We worked with our dj to do this. Try it out with your partner and dance to a song for x amount of time. 30-60 seconds might be enough

    His mom and son song: landslide
    My dad and daughter dance: Israel kamakawiwole: over the rainbow
    Our first dance: Otis Redding these arms of mine

    Just have your DJ fade out your song of choice after the 2nd or 3rd chorus.... Soundwave Entertainment, Orlando

    Did you decide on a song for the parent dances yet? Will you have the DJ cut a song?
