Wedding - Wedding Favors - Wedding Speeches

One of the most common traditions in weddings is for the bride to dance with her father. It symbolizes the father’s final “goodbye” moment with his daughter. Many songs have been used for this particular dance. Some good songs to play during this time would be “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle and “In My Father’s Eyes” by Martina McBride. Wedding bands and wedding music is a big necessity. The music based around a wedding is a massive deal based on the attitude you want to receive from your guests.

Throughout the wedding reception, it’s a wonderful idea to keep music playing. Guests’ enjoy a live “wedding band” performing while they fellowship one with another. Music is a wonderful ice-breaker for the moments that seem to be awkward. Not only that, but music can change one’s temporary state of mind, or their mood.

Funny bridal songs are a great way to keep the mood enlightened. If you want everyone to feel at home, choose silly, but sweet songs. Up temp would be better for this type of setting. Some funny songs choices include “Anything You Can Do, (I Can Do Better), Baby, It’s Cold Outside, and so on.

Romantic songs are, of course, VERY typical choices for weddings and wedding receptions. A “wedding band” does not necessarily have to be someone in the business. It can be someone as simple as a talented family member, or friend(s). A helpful tip to remember when planning songs for the wedding is to make sure none of them would draw too much attention away from the newlyweds. It is their time to shine!

Low tempo songs are also common choices. These types of songs set “the mood” for weddings. Sweet songs with low tempo’s can tame the atmosphere around you, keeping your guests’ peaceful. “Lucky”‘ by Jason Mraz is a great song! The lyrics are precious! A couple other options are “From This Moment” by Shania Twain, and “When God Made You” by Newsong. There won’t be a try eye in the building after all of these have been performed.

A very rare idea is to play hard rock music. This is definitely not a common choice, but whatever suits your personal personality, and that of your mate. If you go with this idea, choose suitable song choices for a reception. Not everyone likes this idea, because it makes the reception less “homey”. Meaning, it’s not the most attractive setting, but it’s “whatever floats your boat”, as people say! There are sweet hard rock songs out there! Get to looking!

Another option is to go without music or a band at your wedding reception. This is also an uncommon decision, but quite a few people enjoy peace and quiet, as you might, too! Music might not be for you, but either way you should make your guests feel comfortable. Play games, have food, and make it feel like a fun celebration.

Make every decision under your own influence. Do not let anyone persuade you otherwise. Weddings, wedding receptions, wedding bands, and everything in between is a big deal. Enjoy this day with the ones you love. Music, Silence, Hard core, low temp, funny, serious…. And the list goes on. Whatever you choose, make it your own decision. Allow this day to be filled with enjoyment to you first, and the ones around you.
