Do the Groom dance with his mother?

Your first dance is with your husband. Then, if you want, you can do a dance with your father and your husband can do a dance with his mother.

Yes, your first dance should with with your husband. You’re not marrying your father. You can opt to dance with your dad if you’d like, and your FH can dance with his mother if they choose.

Your first dance is with your husband and usually happens before dinner. Then father daughter mother son. We are not having these dances at ours and our first dance will be after dinner. We are not doing very many traditional things at ours instead we are creating our own traditions. Being a wedding planner i wanted to change things.

You can do it on whatever order you want. I danced with my husband right when we entered the reception. We wanted to get it over with. Then after dinner I danced with my Dad and my husband danced with his Mom and then my Mom.

Traditionally you dance with your husband first, but it’s really up to you. We’re not doing any dances at our wedding.

I'm hoping to get a "two for one" on the parent dances, to be honest. I know it's not traditional but I think it would help fiance and FMIL to feel more comfortable--plus it would get everyone else on the dance floor that much more quickly!

ETA: I forgot that in American weddings, the first dance can happen before the food... I spent some time living someplace else and went to a lot of weddings, and the tradition there is that you eat, the couple does one dance, and in the middle of that first dance, EVERYONE gets on the dance floor!

My first dance was with my husband. Then later, Second dance was with my dad. Right after, Third dance was my husband and his mom.

First dance- Husband and Wife. I'm not sure if I want to do this immediately when we enter the reception, or right after dinner.

Second dance- Father/Daughter.

Third dance- Mother/Son

We're also doing a 4th and 5th formal dance- 4th is Bridal Party dance and the 5th, my mom and I are going to do a collage of line dancing songs and gradually try to get people on the floor to kick off the party. I'm an only child and my mom and I are close so I wanted a way to do something with her as well.

But yes, traditionally the son dances with his mother.

We haven't gotten this far yet, but I'm thinking I might do a joint F/D dance first, me with my dad & FH with his daughter (if they want) and then do our first dance. Reason being that neither of us are very good dancers and I think we will want to invite guests to come join us after a minute or so. It would be awkward to then boot them all back off the floor after half a song so we could do our parent dances.

Thank you all for your feedback...I am liking: FH and I 1st, then my dad and I 2nd, then I am thinking after we eat, FH and his mom dance...i will ask FH and see if he has any order preference...😉
