Song for the Father/Daughter Dance

Maria, on August 31, 2017 at 4:15 PM Posted in Planning 0 46

I am sooo stuck on which song to choose for the Father/Daughter Dance! I did ask for input just in case he has a preference on a song or type of genre, but he's not really sure either. What song did everyone choose for their father/daughter dance? I'm giving the song inspiration page on WW a look, but the long list is a little overwhelming, haha.

Also, my FMIL chose "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts for the Mother/Son dance, so that song is out lol.

    I chose lean on me because he used to sing that to me when I was little. Doesn't really help you out much though lol

    You are not kidding about that song inspiration page. I didn't even scroll down the first page.

    We're dancing to "Wildflowers" by Tom Petty. I have changed my mind on every single other song at least twice but this has been a constant for me since before I ever got engaged! I just love this song.

    ETA: If you really like "My Wish" or can't think of anything that you love, you guys can always dance with your parents at the same time to the same song.

    Ha, @Hannah, I also chose Lean on Me, because I used to play it for my dad on the piano. If I wasn't going to do that one I was going to do Father and Daughter by Paul Simon, which I think is a pretty song.

    @Amanda, Right?? There's 8 pages of suggestions and I was like "I'm never going to make a decision if I rely on this" haha.

    I mainly mentioned "My Wish" because I'm pretty sure that's a popular choice. I did consider having us both dance at the same time, but neither my dad nor I are really big country fans so I'm not sure yet. But I am ultimately going to choose a song for the lyrics rather than the genre, so I'm not opposed to country suggestions as well.

    If I was doing one, it would be "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon...but because my FH parents cannot be there, dad and I have decided not to do one out of respect for him. Neither of us really wanted to be put on show, either Smiley winking

    What a wonderful world by Louie Armstrong is another decent choice.

    Lol. My dad and I are doing "Ice Ice Baby". That probably won't be a winner for y'all but I wanted to share.

    I'm thinking Unforgettable by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole. My dad is pretty old fashioned, and will only dance to a certain style. Some lyrics are romantic, but I like that it's a father/daughter duet (essentially). What a Wonderful World is my second choice.

    "When You Need Me" Bruce Springsteen. My Dad is always there for me and my family so it's totally appropriate.

    @HulaHoop, YES, fellow corgi-lover! He's my corgi, Jake. I adopted him from a shelter Smiley smile

    Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll continue listening to more today when I get the chance.
