Since I am not particularly close with my father (and we both are TERRIBLE dancers and would feel very uncomfortable with everyone staring at us), I want to do something else to honor him and my mom (my parents are divorced,) and my FI’s parents as well at the reception. Would it be dumb to make a slideshow of pictures from our childhoods and play them to a song or two as a tribute to our parents? Something like “Butterfly Kisses” or “I loved her first” for my parents and of course we’d find a song for his parents too..

I’d like to know 1) What you Bees think of the idea and 2) Any song suggestions that you have for this project?

 

Thanks!

Honestly, it depends on your wedding. If it’s something sentimental and quiet, go for it. But if you want a big party at your reception, I really feel like slideshows can sometimes offset the mood — they tend to make people nostalgic and almost sad, rather than ready to get up and dance. But if that’s not what you want for your wedding, than I think it’s a totally acceptable way to honor your parents 🙂
