Music to Dance to

As you all know I coordinated a wedding on Friday, and surprisingly, I spent a lot of my time sitting at the dj table, helping pick out songs and telling the dj what and when to announce. So when I started trying to think about what songs I'd want to use, I started looking at my books for ideas.

This is an excerpt out of the Mindy Weiss bible...

First Dance Suggestions

• "At Last" by Etta James
• "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross
• "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley
• "Have I Told You Lately" by Van Morrisson
• "It Had to be You" by Frank Sinatra

Father/Daughter Suggestions

• "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John
• "Daughters" by John Mayer
• "Father's Eyes" by Amy Grant
• "Hero" by Mariah Carey
• "My Girl" by The Temptations

Mother/Son Suggestions

• "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon
• "In My Life" by The Beatles
• "Through the Years" by Kenny Rogers
• "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban
• "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong

Last Dance

• "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green
• "Save the Last Dance for Me" by Michael Buble'
• "The Best is Yet to Come" by Nancy Wilson
• "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra
• "Save the Best for Last" by Vanessa Williams

Some of these I agree with, and some just wouldn't work for me. Also, I'm thinking about doing the father/daughter and mother/son dance all at once, so I need to find songs that work for both. If you're working on your song list, hopefully this helps a bit, and if you have some great advice for me, please pass it on!
