Do I need separate songs for grandparents and parents being seated?

Like one for parents and grandparents, then one for the bridal party?
Looking for suggestions for those 1 or 2 songs.
Bridal march: got it
Unity Candle song: Suggestions? (Considering I hate love songs by Kelsey Balerini)
Recessional: We will be doing the greet and dismissal so I'm thinking if choosing at least 2 or 3?
Reception

o parents and ring bearers and flower girls usually get announced? There is a spot on my djs list, I just dont remember ever seeing that.
Bridal party entrance: (possibly got it)Bride and Groom entrance: got itCake cutting song: got itFirst dance song: got it
Father Daughter song: suggestions?Mother Son song: suggestions?
No bouquet toss or garter toss.Still debating the dollar dance. Any appropriate suggestions for that?
Last song of the night: suggestions?
Am I missing anything?I'm just at that point where I'm ready to have this done. And these are the songs that have us hung up.

My husband's grandparents are deceased so he didn't want my grandparents walking down the aisle. Both moms walked down the aisle and my dad escorted me. My husband's father and the father's fiancee didn't walk down the aisle. The moms and bridal party walked down the aisle to the same song which is what my DJ recommended to otherwise you have too many different songs. There are ton of father daughter and mother son songs. My husband picked a song by my mother-in-law's favorite singer to dance. I picked a song from a list of the most popular father daughter dance songs. We did a unity ceremony, but we didn't have music playing not did we ever consider it. I have never seen the dollar dance done as a wedding and I honestly feel it is tackey. We had our parents, flower girls and ring bearer announced. I have always seen it done this way. Our usher escorted my mother-in-law during the introductions. I have included below a website that gives popular songs for each part of the wedding. This was the sure our DJ recommended to us.

I’m a musician and sometimes people do request separate songs for the grandparents and bridal party but honestly it’s so short that it makes it kind of abrupt. But it’s certainly an option.

Thanks! I wasn't sure.
We have 1 set of grandparents, his parents, his grandma, and my grandma who has dementia and could make things difficult. (But is in a wheel chair so it could be zippy!)

I am more worried about the song being too short... may just have to look for 1 long song. lol!

We're doing one song for the grandparents/parents: "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban. For the recessional, we're doing "Forever Now (Say Yes)" by Kristian Bush (the song that plays at the end of SYTTD). We're doing "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle for the Father/Daughter dance and "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong for the Mother/Son dance. I haven't been to a wedding where the flower girls/ringbearers were announced I don't think, but I really like that idea! I'll add mine to my bridal party entrance (the parents are my siblings & are bridesmaids/groomsmen). Our Last Song is "Live Forever" by Kane Brown.
