Special dances without group dancing?

I don' think that will be weird! My SIL did a micro wedding in June 2020. There was a ceremony with about 15 people, and then we had lunch together, no dancing or anything. She said one of her regrets is not doing those dances.

I think that would be awesome!

No it's not weird at all, go for it!

I don't think it's weird! I'm having a small wedding in my mom's backyard without a dj or dance floor but will also use a sound system for music. FH and I were originally planning on not doing a first dance because we aren't big dancers/ not used to being center of attention but our photographer talked us into it because she let us know it's still such a special moment to share with each other. So now we're both really excited to include the first dance! It's your wedding and a chance to make some great memories, so if you want to share those special dances go for it!

Not weird! I always envisioned (even before Covid) to have a micro wedding starting with passed hors’douvres as people entered, then a simple ceremony, followed by first dance with my husband and then a dance with my father which would lead straight into a sit down dinner. This would all take place in the same room too.

If you're on the fence, I would absolutely recommend doing the special dances!! I had a backyard minimony before covid and was fully planning to have a more traditional wedding a few months later, and I so wish we had done some special dances because we are deeply unsure if our traditional wedding/celebration/vow renewal/whatever will ever happen. My advice is: unless you or your FS is vehemently against it, I would definitely go forward with them!

It’s totally fine. Your guests will notice that there’s no DJ or dance floor and only background music playing. After dinner when you move to have s’mores, will that mark the end of the evening? If so, that’s perfect.
