Song order

I think traditionally it goes First Dance, then Father/Daughter, and then Mother/Son. We’re doing First Dance right after the grand entrance and then after dinner Father/Daughter, then Mother/Son, and then reverse anniversary dance.

You could add your Mother/Child dance after his mother/son dance.

View Quoted Comment What's a reverse anniversary dance? I've never heard of that.

I'm breaking tradit ion by dancing with my father right after our entrance (he's 83 years old so I don't want him to be tired) he is will then give the blessing to start dinner. After dinner and toasts we will have our first dance to start off dancing, we will end the night with a last dance. I think anything goes!

Oh, I like this! I was just thinking of doing them in order, but like what you're doing.

View Quoted Comment Thanks, sorry for the typos! Both of our moms are passed, so we will not be doing any mother dances, but our last dance is one in honor of FH's mom. We are thinking about a n anniversary dance for guests, but we're unsure as many of our guests have recently lost a spouse or are unmarried....perhaps just a love song dedicated to our guests.

View Quoted Comment I believe this is when married couples are invited to the dance floor and one by one asked to sit down according to the years married, the last couple dancing (longest marriage) is celebrated with applause, a toast or whatever.

I'm sorry to hear that. The last dance is so sweet and very touching. I thought about doing an anniversary dance, but not many couples are married. We might change it to the couple that's been together the longest, marry or not.

View Quoted Comment I had a DOC suggest it in an interview. You call couples on to the dance floor instead of off so at the end you can call the singles on and everyone is on the dance floor when you open the dance floor

View Quoted Comment That delightful!
