Father daughter dance for groom and his daughter?

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday. I have a quick question for other brides and grooms in blended families. So tradition has it that the bride and her father have a dance, but how common is it to have a whole other dance for the groom and his daughter (age 8)? To be totally honest, my wedding is the only blended wedding I'll have seen so I don't have experience to go off of. I was fully prepared to share my song with them or even share the dance with her and my own father, but is it normal to include a whole other song? The groom is also having a mother son dance. Any information or experience is greatly appreciated!

When it comes to blending families, I think pretty much anything goes if it's what to want. I think the extra dance would be beautiful. You won't have a dry eye in the room. My FH has an 8yo daughter and I've been working hard at finding ways to include her and show that we're coming together as a family. We're doing a family unity ceremony during the ceremony.

Were in a similar situation. I don't have either of my parents anymore, my uncle is walking me down the aisle, and I have a 10 year old son. I think were going to have a 'groom mother' and 'bride son' dance. It sounds odd when I say it like that but I thought it would be cute if I, the New Mrs. Warko, danced with my son while the other Mrs. Warko dances with the groom. Were not sure though entirely.

Ok so my wedding is in 84 days, and we are also a blended family. So we are having a 1st dance, then the rest of the wedding party will join in. Then we are doing a mother/son dance to one song & then a father/daughter dance to another song.

Hi there Diandra!
There is no rule stating what you can and can't do with your spotlight dances.
If your FH and his daughter would like to do their own separate dance, I would say go for it
If you wanted to cut down the amount of time spent on spotlight dances, you could have your father-daughter dance, and then halfway through, you FH and his daughter join in. If you and your FH are happy have 3 different dances, to 3 difference songs, that's cool too
Have you decided on song selections for each of these dances yet?

My FI and I both have kids so we're going to do a dance with them. I'm thinking now if having the DJ only play half of each song to cut down the total time because we want a special song for each of them. We won't be doing special dances with our parents.
