 The parent/child dances are one of the most heartwarming parts of any wedding day! As wedding planners, we’re still huge fans of this tradition. However, choosing a song to dance to can be difficult. Thankfully, there are a few tried-and-true tunes that couples and their parents have been turning to for decades! Stick around for a list of popular parent dance songs and our guidance for choosing the perfect one. Most Popular Parent Dance SongsFather of the Bride

How to Choose a Parent/Child Dance SongWhen choosing a song to dance to, listen closely to the lyrics. You don’t want a sad song playing during this special moment! Similarly, avoid picking a song with overly romantic connotations (awkward!). The ideal parent/child dance song has meaningful lyrics, often with a nostalgic feel or well wishes for the child. While this may seem like tricky criteria, you aren’t alone in selecting a song. Ask your parent what they think! Is there an artist you’ve always enjoyed listening to together or a melody that holds a special meaning for both of you? It just might make the perfect choice for your dance. With whatever song you choose, be open to fading it about a minute and a half in (so, don’t choose a song that you only like for the ending!). Trust us: for your first dance and your parent/child dances, you won’t want to be up there with all eyes on you for much longer. After that point, you’ll likely lose your guests’ attention too.Your DJ can help you cut your song of choice into the perfect length without sacrificing your favorite parts. Do you want to include both your parents in your wedding more prominently? While the parent/child dance is the best-known way, it isn’t the only one (and it sadly excludes one parent). Recently, we joined other top wedding planners to give our advice for honoring your parents on your special day. To learn more, head to the feature on Everyday Bride! Vendors:Comments are closed.
