Romantic Disney songs during reception

I am personally going to find a way to include the theme song from UP. It's my all time fav soundtrack haha.

Oh and instrumentals only too.

Have you played the versions you are of thinking about? Maybe if he heard them, it would change his perspective. Also, instrumentals could be a nice comprise.

Yeah I wouldn't include more than 3. I think he's being too finicky.

Both of my college degrees are in cartooning- give me a break! LOL

What about a vitamin string quartet version?

If he won't budge on the Disney songs why not consider other ways you could incorporate your cartoons? I'm not sure if you have a theme but you could make pictures to identify each table rather than table numbers or do a cartoon picture that your guests can sign around the edges which you could frame afterwards.

You could use sayings in place of table numbers if he won't budge on songs. For example tale as old as time...

Can you feel the love tonight by Elton John from the lion king doesn't even sound like a disney song. Could you find the covers and play them for him? He probably won't even know they are from disney movies.

My wedding is loosely Beauty and he Beast themed. It's reflected in my off the shoulder sleeve/strap on my dress, I'm walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of the theme song (our DJ is also a violinist), and we'll be playing instrumentals of some songs like Be Our Guest just while people are eating dinner. We also are incorporating it into our decor. There are definitely ways to incorporate Disney without being childish. Here is a mockup we did of our tables.

@futuremrswhitman my inner Disney nerd wants to go to your wedding!!!I love Disney and beauty and the beast is my all time favorite!!!

I'm a HUGE Disney fan too! My favorite is "So this is love" from Cinderella and they are dancing at the ball.

It doesn't really sound too much like a Disney song, IMO.

Good luck!

Can't go wrong with my girl Celine!!!

I think when you say Disney theme songs he maybe just thinking of the playful Disney songs instead of the more romantic stuff. I would say find the adult covers and play him a few of exact ones you want and play instrumentals for him.

@Miss.MtoMrs..K Beauty and the Beast is definitely the best Disney movie ever! I'm so ready to see it all come together!

Our first dance we finally settled on in Micheal Buble's You've Got a Friend in Me, which was made more adult.

I think the adult cover versions is a perfect compromise. Either play them for him or just have like 3 snuck in there. I bet most people who turn their nose up at Disney/animation couldn't recognize the songs anyway.

Do instrumental versions of your favorite songs. I bet you he won't even notice, and may even start humming along. =)

I love love love the song from princess and the frog by Neyo "Never Knew I Needed" I want it to be our first dance but FH said its a little too fast lol

During what parts of the reception are you planning to play the songs? I feel like the instrumental versions would be awesome during cocktail hour and dinner (where it's a nice background sound). I'm thinking of using the instrumental "Beauty and the Beast" for our VIPS (my mom and FH's parents) to walk down the aisle just prior to the ceremony.

Huge Disney fan here and there is no such thing as too much Disney .. Disney instrumentals are really nice. Disney Philarmagic instrumentals to be exact.

Figure out how many you want, then cut it in half to meet him halfway
