… At least in my opinion =)
I’ve toiled over this list to find the perfect combination of songs that will satisfy a) my dance hungry friends b) my aunts and uncles and similar folk in that age group and finally c) my dear old grandma. My fiance and I are huge fans of the 90’s so there’s a lot of that flavor in there, but also listen to a lot of Paul Simon and the Beatles, so we’ve squeezed much of that kind of music in as well. We’re getting married in October so we wanted some Halloween-ish songs in there to highlight the time of year, and oh, and we’re from New Jersey, so all of our introductions will be to Bruce songs.
Thought I’d share incase any of you ladies need some ideas for yours. Enjoy!
Special Songs:
Grandparents/Parents Entrance – Erie Canal by Bruce Springsteen
Bridal Party Entrance – Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen
Bride & Groom Entrance – Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
Cake Cutting – I Got You Babe by Sonny & Cher
Bouquet Tose – Super Freak by Rick James
Garter Toss – Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot
Last Song – Love Shack by the B52s
Now onto the rest of the night! I’ll be having live music during my cocktail hour so I only needed to program for four hours of dinner and dancing, and this is what I’ve got! My slow songs have asterisks next to them, and I’ve gone with about 1 slow song for every 4 fast dancey songs.
