Song for the Father/Daughter Dance

Maria, on August 31, 2017 at 4:15 PM

Posted in Planning 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,...

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

    We danced to "When You Need Me" by Bruce Springsteen. Mainly because my dad is a huge Springsteen fan.

    I'm actually dancing with my papa, since my dad is not in the picture. We are dancing to "what a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong

    We decided to do the father/daughter mother/son dance at the same time (I wanted to skip it but here we are), so we picked What a Wonderful World and our jazz trio will play it (no lyrics).

    Both my sisters used Butterfly Kisses. They want me to keep up with the tradition but I kinda want to use Edleweiss from the Sound of Music because he used to play it on my music box after he tucked me in at night as a little girl.

    My dad and I have always loved the song Brown Eyed Girl and I was always his brown eyed girl....so I am having my cousin do a cover to a slower version on acoustic guitar....I am sure it will make my dad cry and then I will be a mess....Still trying to mentally prepare lol.

    This was a tough one for us. It took awhile to decide. I'm dancing with my Dad to Pharrell's Happy! He wanted something upbeat and fun.

    Ugh, the father daughter dance song selection has been really difficult for me & my dad. I asked my dad to pick, but he can't find any that feel "right" and then shoots down all the songs that I run past him.

    He's a fan of country music and we finally just found one we both agree on! Not too mushy, creepy, long, etc. lol. We are dancing to Dance with my Daughter by Jason Blaine

    My dad picked Louie Armstrong what a wonderful world. I didn't help him at all so makes it that much more special. I wanted it to be totally his choice.

    I chose 'Memories' by Elvis Presley. My dad is older and a huge Elvis fan so it was perfect.

    Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman and You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban are some of my favorites.
