They can be at the same time or with different songs. It's whatever you want to do.
I am doing it seperate but only because my mom told me my dad already picked out a song otherwise I would have liked to do them together.
We're doing them at the same time, to the song Daughters by John Mayer. Neither J nor I really like being the center of attention, so we both liked the idea of sharing that moment. :)
Yea I think I want to do them at the same time, I don't want to make people sit around while we do dance after dance. I want everyone on the dance floor!
I'm going to do it separate because My Girl is the song, and I don't think its appropriate for a mom song.:
we are doing it at the same time.
my dad and i will start, then FI and FMIL will join us after a little bit.
We want to do it at the same time so that not all the attention is on just my FI and his mom, or just me an my dad. We're having the HARDEST time picking a song though. I think Kind and Generous or Sunshine of my Life are great and my FI suggested All You Need is Love which is a great suggestion, but his mom is worried that every song is a love song and inappropriate due to lyrics... I think she wants to do a short instrumental, which I would be fine with if things were choreographed making it more interesting, but, none of us have time for that. I think we will probably over rule her, do All You Need is Love and have people come in to dance with all of us halfway through. Does anyone have any other song suggestions?
To answer OP's question I think it's more traditional to do them separate but I think it's a great idea to do them together and I'm hoping to do this same thing.
We are having the hardest time coming up with a song! I wanted to do "My Wish" but Rascall flatts but FI vetoed that one.
We did ours together to Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide." We wanted to get to the party as soon as possible instead of having our guests watch toasts and 3 dances. We also asked couples to join us just after the middle of the song to open the dance floor.
@ZoeKat- Love the song suggestion! I think we might use that one actually.
I like the idea too of allowing guests to join but I think I'm doing the second half of the song with my Dad's partner, my "other Dad". He has been part of my life since I was 5 or 6 and I think he will be very happy to be asked to join in the dance. So our guests can watch 2 dances and then hit the dance floor all night.

Do the father/bride and groom/mother dances usually happen at the same time - same song? Or should we be picking two separate songs and doing our own dances? Which is normal/traditional?
