Father daughter dance?

I completely skipped the father daughter dance and did not replace it with anything. I considered replacing it with having my parents dance to their first dance song, but decided against it. If you want to dance with your dad, but don't want to dance to an entire song, splitting the song between him and your mom is a sweet idea! Or you could have the DJ only play part of the song, and limit the dance to like a minute. Or you could skip it altogether if you prefer.

I was not close with my dad, either, and chose not to do a father-daughter dance. No regrets at all about that. It would have felt too forced and awkward.

I am super close with my dad, but skipped the dance. He walked me down the aisle and gave a toast.
You can skip it as you feel like it’s not appropriate.

I am close with my dad and we did a dance routine. It was maybe about a minute and 15 seconds but we enjoyed doing it together.

I’m not close to my father so due to circumstances, he is not invited. When I was close to him, we never had the type of relationship where I felt comfortable entertaining the idea of a father daughter dance. So we decided to skip it and no one has given any grief about it even if they don’t understand the dynamics. You have to do what is right for you. For me, I personally cringe at the idea of doing things like that out of obligation because it gives the false impression that you have a closer relationship than really exists to save face with people who wouldn’t bat an eye if it was skipped entirely.

If you can do the dance as a kind gesture to your dad, that would okay. But if it is not something you would do out of kindness and agreement -- or is just too uncomfortable for you, it is okay to skip it. Just don't skip a dance with your dad while doing one with your mother -- that would seem odd -- as in disrespecting your dad.

I'm trying to have one but it's not for me but my FH and our daughter something for them to look back on. Plus my dad is no longer living so I gave my father daughter dance to them but hope that he can dance with all 3 daughters. We got have 1 together and I have 2 others

We're doing one, but I've always been close with my dad. If it's not your thing, you don't have to do one out of obligation. You can skip it entirely, do half with your dad and the other half with your mom, or just dance with your mom. The only "requirements" on your wedding day are whatever legal and/ or religious requirements need to happen for you to be married. Anything else is optional and totally your call

Yep! I did one. It goes by very quickly!

I didn't have one my father is no longer living. Unfortunately I didn't have anyone for that
