    A. Country (Even though FH isn't a huge fan, we'll have some in there haha)

    D. Classic rock oldies (depends on what is classified as oldies these days lol)

    E. Today's hits (I'm thinking anything since 2010)

    F. 90's and 2000's throwback! (adding my own option unless this is classified as oldies now)

    We will be doing mostly country and the oldies. It's what almost everyone in our wedding party as well as our parents listen to! We will have song requests as well for the guests if they get tired of it

    I let my husband have 1 country song! (I am anti-country music!). We had quite a few oldies actually, they're usually better to dance to! I think there was 90s and today's hits as well. I enjoy listening to music, but not a music connoisseur by any means so my husband and his friends came up with the playlist!

    I'm thinking Oldies, 90's, and today's top hits. The only reason for country songs IMO is for the "important" dances such as father daughter, mother son, etc. Otherwise keep all of those country songs out! lol I swear I like every other type of music but that. Give me EDM, Classic, Rock, Emo, Rap, anything but country.

    We're a mix of modern country, dance hits, and classic rock and roll... My FH asked if the DJ has metal on his playlist, and I told him it doesn't matter because he won't be playing any... haha.

    We like the old school classics, dance type music.
