Question about Parents' Dance??

For the parents' dance at the reception, do both FH's and my parents dance at the same time to one song? I always thought it was this way until my dad told me today he thought they danced to separate songs? FH's parents are divorced, but still are good friends and get along just fine. Would it be weird just having my parents dance a song by themselves? To me that feels a little like they're kind of taking our spotlight. Idk I'm confused, please help! TIA

No most Father/daughter dances are different than the mother/son song. you CAN combine the two, but its usually a nice moment for you and dad to be alone. you said PARENTS dance tho...idk what that means.. you wanna dance with your mom too?! then i'd say another song, lol... im just dancing with dad and i'll boogie with mom later!

A lot of time people do different songs- im doing the same song at the same time that way people dont have to wait around forever- its kind of up to the parents tho- if the dad and other mom wants their own song specifically then do it that way- if they dont mind- same time works!

I would like to know this as well.
What do you mean by parents dance?
I would like my parents to have a dance together, since I am planning this wedding in April to honor them, and their anniversary.
Fh's parents are divorced as well but they live together and are good friends. They are alot older than my parents and have no family so they take care of eachother. I often wonder why they got divorced to begin with.

It's usually a separate song for Bride/Father and Groom/Mother, which the parent will often pick. I've also seen it done as grandparent's dances or a special dance for parents. As Amanda pointed out, you don't want to overdo it, since some people find it boring to watch other people dance. You can also invite guests to join the dance, after a short time while photographs are being taken.

No by parents dance I mean a dance that my mom and dad and FH's mom and dad dance to together. Of course we're doing separate father/daughter and mother/son dances. Thanks for the help ladies and Dan, but turns out FH's father will not be getting out of jail before the wedding anyways, so we're not going to do a parents dance.

You can combine parents dance if you want to............They can dance on the same song at the same time...............But for that first ask them what they want to do...........If they want to dance separately then I would suggest you not to force them.............Let them decide what they want..........You can suggest them that this way you can save the time also..........
