Father and daughter dance / Mother and groom dance

We are doing two dances so he and his mom can have a special moment.

We are doing 2 songs, its nice to each have a special moment with our parents

My Little Girl- Tim Mcgraw and Boy-Lee Brice

We're definitetly doing 2 songs and having 2 dances. I honestly wouldnt' want to share that special moment/steal that special moment. It's a special time between a parent and their child getting married; it's fine to have it separately.

Mother by Sugarland is a good neutral song. (I just found it yesterday when I was looking for mother/daughter sons).

Mother by Sugarland is a good neutral song for anyone looking to do a combo dance.

View quoted message Thanks everyone! We're gonna stick with two different songs.😊

Dances for both ways are becoming a norm and if you like your song choices, stick with them.

Alternative song choice are optional to go with:

Father/Daughter dance: The Climb - Miley Cyrus

Mother/Groom dance: Mother like Mine-The Band Perry

Hi Stephanie,

That is very normal, or at least normal to the wedding's I have been too!

I am also doing two separate songs, the songs I have chosen are below -->

Father Daughter Dance: Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle (This is a very special song to my Dad as we sang it together since I was 5!!)

Mother Son Dance: My Wish - Holly Tucker

I hope this helps if anyone needed any ideas or suggestions !

Thats pretty normal from what weddings I have been to each of those dances has their own song.

That's pretty normal, at least for the weddings I've been to. We're likely going to do something similar but just with different people. My fiancé was raised by his grandma but we dont think she'll be able to fly over, and I stopped talking to my dad about 6 years ago, so we're coming up with some kind of modification to the traditional father-daughter/mother-groom dances. Keeping them as 2 different dances but we might both be dancing with my mom.

Slow Down by Nichole Nordeman

This is the one. It does mention barbie dolls, but also lightsaber wars.

2 songs is pretty standard. It gives you that one on one time with your dad/mom. If you were short on time you could do one, but most people are prepared for 2!

We have separate songs chosen. I’ve also never seen the bride and groom dance with their parents at the same time.

What song did you pick? i've been looking for something nice that doesn't specifically say son or daughter in it! I would love to hear your thoughts or any suggestions!

We have separate songs and I’ve always seen it done separately.

I've actually never seen those dances done at the same time. It's usually different songs for each so the dances are one after the other.

We’re doing two! i want that moment with my
dad to be mine, and my FH should have that moment with his mom.

Like Tori said, having 2 songs is usually the norm.

Personally, we'll be doing just 1 song, as we don't want our guests to look at us slow dance for more than 5 minutes!

I've also been to a wedding where the middle of the first song faded out and the second song started... and near the middle of the second song, it also faded and the MC invited all couples to come and dance to another slow tune.

The one wedding I was in, the bridesmaids/groomsmen had to get an aunt/uncle/cousin/friend and go slow dance. I thought it was quite sweet, and got to dance with a pretty cool uncle hahaha.

That's pretty standard I would say - it's actually sharing the song that would be more uncommon (at least as far as I'm aware).

I have a song in mind for the father/daughter dance but haven't run it by my Dad yet. I did however tell my FH that he can use it too seeing as how it doesn't say anything along the lines of little girl or little boy or mom/dad.
