Music ideas!

Posted in Wedding Reception 22

Hi everyone! I have the song I am waking down the aisle to but I need ideas for the cocktail hour and reception! I want fun songs that people will dance to! I am open to all kinds of music. I have searched on YouTube and Spotify like wedding party music but it’s all pretty generic stuff

    So 2 things:

    1. The Knot just posted an article about Bilboard's survey of the 100 most requested/most played songs at weddings.

    Here's the link:
    https://www.theknot.com/content/billboard-most-popular-wedding-songs

    2. Our playlist is PG/PG-13 because FH's parents are in their mid-70's and don't think a wedding is about a party 🙄. I think it's still fun and not overly cheesey. It is 80's/90's heavy with some 2000's sprinkled in. We need to add some more current stuff, but we will not be including a lot of Cardi-B, etc, because his parents will have a stroke, though I do like that stuff when I'm in the shower or car. It's a challenge. I've pasted it below for reference:

    You Might Think - The Cars

    Wannabe - Spice Girls

    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

    Take On Me - A-Ha

    I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston

    Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

    Karma Chameleon - Culture Club

    I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow

    Any Way You Want It - Journey

    Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John & Kiki Dee

    Escapade - Janet Jackson

    La Isla Bonita - Madonna
