Here are some steps you can take to choose your wedding songs first dance:



• The first and foremost step for choosing your own most popular first dance wedding song is to ask your would be spouse to choose a song for your first dance at the wedding which reminds him/her of you or of the relationship you share. Evaluate the songs he/she gives to see whether both of you agree on the same song and if it is suitable for your first public appearance as a couple.

• To make a list of all the first dance wedding love songs you are interested in, you can search the internet, the library or even ask your friends for popular songs you can play on your first dance.

• If possible you can play the songs your parents danced on at their wedding. Choose a song that has cultural, family or ethnic significance attached to it.

• Another way of selecting a good song for your first dance is to listen to romantic, danceable songs together. Listen to the complete songs or at least go through its lyrics before you finalize a song. You don’t want songs that have sexually suggestive lyrics to be played as your wedding songs first dance in front of everyone. This will be very inappropriate for a wedding reception where all your distant family members are also present.

• Ensure that the lyrics of the song lyrics are appropriate for the dance. If a band is going to play your song, you will have to decide if you want an instrumental or the vocal version of the song. Remember that even if you are playing an instrumental of a particular song, chances are that your guests might already know the lyrics of the song and hear them in their minds.

• Be sure of letting your band or DJ know about your choice before hand so that they can prepare for it in advance.

• Also make sure if you need to provide sheet music to the band of your wedding songs first dance and where you can purchase it. You might have to provide a recording of the song to the DJ.

• Think about taking dance classes together for your style of dance. It could be fun.
