Recommendations/ideas for First Dance Songs

Mariel, on January 29, 2020 at 1:16 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 6
Hi all,


Although my wedding isn’t until August 2021, I have started browsing music artists for songs for my first dance with my FH as well as songs for my dance with my dad.
Being from a big big family and second youngest, I am the first daughter getting married. My dad and I are really close and I’d like something thats classic but something that’s not overly played. This goes for the same for my dance with my FH too 🙂.
What’s the recommended length for songs for both dances? Thanks again!

    My dad wants to do "I loved her first" for our song. I also like Camilla Cabello's new song, "First Man." My FH and I are going to dance to "Good Woman," by Maren Morris, although we're starting to think about changing it to "Beautiful Stranger // Finally," by Halsey.

    Our first dance was 1 minute 30 seconds and both parent dances were 1 minute.

    Thank you all! I’ve listened to all of these already. Loved her First by Hesrtland was already on my list!


    If I do end up finding a song and it’s over 2:30 minutes what’s the best way to shorten in? Thanks again!

    Father/Daughter- My little girl by Tim McGraw
    First dance- She thinks she needs me by Andy Griggs
    First dance was a hard one to decide on. We were stuck between the one we chose, on my way to you (Cody Johnson), who i am with you (Chris Young), and the good ones (Gabby Barrett)Still waiting on FH to pick a song to dance with his mother to haha
