Reception Dance Songs That You Must Not Forget

By Susan Todd


At nearly all western culture's wedding receptions, there is music. It does not matter if it is a sit down dinner, a buffet or light refreshments, music is universal. The general arrangement of music is as follows:

- Interlude
- Grand Entrance
- Dinner Music
- First Dance
- Father Daughter Dance
- Mother Son Dance

Interlude

The guests arrive at the reception before the wedding party and bride and groom. Usually, the bride and groom are having pictures taken while the guests make their way to the reception. Gentle, soft music usually accompanies this period while cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are served.

Grand Entrance

The Grand Entrance is when the newlyweds arrive at the reception. Frequently, the wedding party is announced first as they enter into the room. The newlyweds come in last and are introduced as the new married couple.

Dinner Music

At the dinner, soft music is once again played. There's a lot of socializing in this time and sometimes individuals prefer to talk and not be overpowered by the music.

First Dance

The dancing doesn't begin till the 1st dance of the newlyweds. This is a very special moment when they take the floor for the first time as a married couple. The choice of song is important for this dance. It should convey the meaning of the couple's relationship and love for one another. It should additionally be appropriate for the type of dance the couple wants to do.

Father Daughter Dance

The following dance is the Father Daughter dance. This is where the bride's father takes the floor with his girl. You might have a special song that both of you love or a song that characterizes your relationship. Your father might have a song special in mind, so don't forget to ask him before starting your search. While the father daughter songs are special, they're typically not as romantic as the first dance songs.

Mother Son Dance

Following the Father Daugher dance is the Mother Son dance. Oftentimes these two dances are combined. The Mother Son dance is another extraordinarily special dance where the mother of the groom dances with her son. She might have a special song picked out that she's been considering for a long time, so make sure to ask her! These songs are usually not as romantic as the first dance song.
