Ideas for Short Father-daughter Dances?

Angelica, on January 7, 2018 at 8:24 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 8

Not trying to steal anyone's song haha but I'm struggling to find the right one for me and my daddy's Father-Daughter dance.

We're really not big dancers but we both want to have that moment for just the two of us on my wedding day. I figure if I can find a short and sweet song it'll give us a nice moment to just sway maybe talk a bit before the night picks up.

He really likes country and classic rock so a short song in those genres would be great. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Smiley heart

    Daddys hands, stealing cinderella, those are a couple country songs. Maybe not short but good daddy daughter dance songs.

    You could shorten a song that you like. Just pick the part of the song you want to dance to and your DJ can fade in and out of the song so it's not too long.

    Don't focus on the song length. Just find a song you both like and get your DJ to cut it down for you. Sorry, I don't have any song suggestions as I won't be doing one

    I don't have song suggestions since I didn't need to search for songs for parent dances, but I suggest for parent dances and first dance to keep the dance under 2 minutes-1 minute 30 seconds is long enough .

    You can absolutely shorten any song you want. The chorus of the song my dad and I danced to just repeats over and over and over again, making it 5 minutes long. I was chatting with our DJ and he asked if I wanted him to fade it out early, or just let it keep going. I told him to fade it out after he felt it had been long enough.

    Sweet pea by Amos Lee and My Girl by the temptations are both about 2 minutes long!

    I also am having this trouble and my dad loves Classic Rock. I am thinking of using 'Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac. One of our favorite bands

    My dad wrote this song for my sister and I many years ago. You are more than welcome to use. 2:40
