Bridal Party Dance

Deleted, on August 10, 2012 at 2:55 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

Does anyone else think this "tradition" is totally weird??? FH things I'm the weird one for being completely against the idea because every wedding he has been to has done it, but I don't want to force my BMs to dance with someone other than their husbands/boyfriends, and it just seems totally awkward and pointless. I had never even heard of it before we started planning our wedding.

Anyone else not making their BMs dance with the GMs??

    We're not having a bridal party dance... I've been to wedding where it's been done, but it doesn't make sense for us to do it.

    We're skipping it too, kind of... We're having the WP join us, but with their own boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives whatever.... If we end up doing that at all... still trying to decide....

    I'm going to skip it too! If I have any bridal party dance, it'll be an upbeat song where we can all dance and not have be together!

    We are not doing it. I thought it was totally awkward to have it, and didn't want my party to suffer through it.

    I actually never really got it. But, in watching videos on YouTube, H loved the idea of one. I knew all of my bp would not want to participate, so I asked the two girls that I knew liked attention, lol. My sister and my best friend, they're awesome. We practiced one time for a WHOLE ten minutes, lol. I did all of the work though, they were my backround dancers, lol. It was actually kinda fun once the nerves were gone.

    We are doing this but a little different. We have one couple in the party, they will dance together and than the best man can dance with his girlfriend. So more of a couples dance than a wedding party dance...

    I don't get it, either -- why would you make your BP dance with each other, as if they're all happy couples, while their actual partners are sitting at the tables watching? It makes no sense to me and feels like a total waste of time, so we're leaving it out.

    I don't mind it either way. I've seen it done and never thought anything of it. I think it's just a way to get everyone on the dance floor and a way to do it is have the bridal party open it up. Also, not everyone in the bridal party is destined to have a date so it doesn't make things awkward. I wouldn't say it was pointless or stupid because it does serve some sort of purpose. To each their own I guess.

    Are you talking about a choreographed dance to fast music or just the BMs slow dancing with the GMs?

    I think either one are kind of silly. As a guest, I don't want to sit through a choreographed number, I think it is a waste of party time.

    If it is a slow dance, that is just awkward.

    I've never heard of having the entire BP dance with each other either and I agree that it sounds really awkward...

    I feel like a group choreographed dance can be good- but it REALLY depends on the group of people and what the choreography consists of and how long it is.
