First Dance Alternative

The only thing I can think of is the anniversary dance but in the reserve order so those married longest would sit down first then so wotth and the dance would end with just the two of you left. Otherwise I can't really think of anything to replace it.

A first dance is never required. Are you having dancing the rest of the night and don’t want that spotlight or skipping all dancing period? Talk to your dj about ideas on how to start with just regular dancing. Otherwise guests typically just chat and mingle.

I just looked on Pinterest & they have several alternative ideas to look at.

Finding the venue wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. Figuring out the budget & then having to readjust (sticker shock) because we didn’t realize how expensive weddings were was a big one.

Sorry- this response was for a different post.

Ask your dj for their ideas. They get requests for unconventional situations all the time

My friends did a first fight, the husband is a blacksmith and made some swords, the wife is a martial artist and choreographed a fight dance.
I am just skipping it. My husband hates dancing and really doesn't want to do it. My dad is the same way so we are just skipping all those special dances.

You can also just skip it altogether.

If you are hiring a professional DJ, they should have no issue getting people on the dance floor.

Many couples do their couple dances before dinner service, so the transition between food and dancing does not have to be a first dance at all.

You could do first karaoke instead of a dance? Or a silly dance like the Macarena? LOL and then start pulling other people up to join! Like a flash mob! That would be super cute!

CONGA LINE THAT THE BRIDE LEADS!!!
