Father-Daughter Dance

FutureCPR, on January 24, 2017 at 3:09 PM Posted in Planning 0 17

There are a lot of country songs that can be used for Father-Daughter dances, but what happens when your father doesn't like country music?

Suggestions for a father-daughter song please! My dad is a Jimmy Buffett fan, which is awesome, but I don't know how my mom would feel for us to have such an untraditional song. Haha

    I'm not a big Country music fan. I picked something by Dawes that reminded me of my dad... All Your Favorite Bands.

    There are tons! We're using "what a wonderful world", but that's been "our song" since I was a kid. There's "My girl", "You are so beautiful"...I don't know Buffett very well, but is there anything in his cannon that might work? Sometimes nontraditional can be really cute!

    ETA: spelling, grammar

    We are dancing to "Your Song" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Dad loves Elton John (the original signer) and I think this version is way more dynamic and I love musicals so it was a compromise.

    I chose Daddy by Abby Anderson. I don't know if it sounds a little country but I love it.

    Https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-songs/father-daughter-music <-- Don't know if you've seen this yet. I'm not sure what we're doing as Dad has sent me a video of one of those choreographed father daughter dances, but I'm not sure his knees can handle it.

    I'm actually using a Jimmy Buffet song, it's called "Little Miss Magic" and it made me cry the first time I listened to it so I knew it was the one. I believe I found it a while ago on the list that wwlynnie and Jillian posted. ETA words

    We're doing Otis Redding- That's How Strong my Love Is. Doing mother/son and father/daughter dance to the same song because neither of the parents want the attention all on them at once!

    I was thinking of using the same song for one combined dance. (father/daughter, mother/son)

    It is a new original song called "Thank You for giving this day"

    We were going to do Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder. But my dad preferred Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn....it's Country though.
