60 Best Sister Brother Songs
2020
Did your big brother make a big impact on your life? Maybe he was your protector. He might even be your twin. Your childhood is full of memories together and you want to honor your relationship. Choosing a sister-brother song at your wedding honors a lifetime of memories.
What is a Sister-Brother Song?
A sister-brother song is a special song between a bride and her brother. We recommend that you select a song that has special meaning between both you and your brother. This could be a sister-brother dance, a slideshow, or when he walks down the aisle. It all depends on what you would like to do as the wedding couple.
“It seems like every set of siblings has some sort of family dance, whether it moves they choreographed as kids or a song you love to rock out to in the kitchen when you’re all home for Thanksgiving. Make sure your tune of choice gets played during the reception, and ask your brothers to join you in the middle of the dance floor to bust a move.” Jaimie Mackey
How do I include my brother at my wedding?
Maybe your brother doesn’t want to dance. That’s okay, too. You can include your brother in your wedding party. Many wedding couples are breaking traditional gender roles such as bridesmaids and groomsmen. So your brother can definitely be the bride’s best man.
If your brother is shy, he can be an usher or officiant. Talk to your wedding coordinator and future husband. You don’t want surprises, though, the day of.
“We’ve frequently seen siblings cast as program attendants, guest book hosts, ushers and junior-status bridesmaids and groomsmen (when much younger) – but there are several meaningful ways in which siblings can contribute to your day.” Marquette Avenue Events
Is it normal for the groom’s sister to be a bridesmaid?
It’s up to you but remember that your children may be playing together in the future, reminds Aviva Samuels in a Brides.com article. Including your sister-in-law at the wedding is a decision that should be made by you as the wedding couple. If your future husband and his sister are very close, a sister-brother song could replace the mother dancing with the groom.
Remember, this is your celebration. Talk about the options with each other and your professional wedding planner.
A Sister-Brother Song Should Hold Meaning
Sister-brother songs are special when the bride has a special relationship with her brother. In addition, if a bride’s parents have passed away, it would be a special gesture to have a sister-brother dance to replace the father-daughter dance. If the bride has multiple brothers, the selected song can play as the bride starts dancing with the oldest brother. Then, the younger brothers can cut-in as the song plays.

Hi Rebecca. First and foremost, pick a song that already means something between you. Was there a special song that highlights your past life moments? If not, check out Phil Collins – You’ll Be In My Heart.
I want to sing a song for my brother. I love him so much for me he is a God gifted person. What about Kodaline ‘BROTHER’? Please help me to choose a song for him. Oh, there is a information I want to tell you that my brother is a marine engineer.

Hi I’m having a sweet 16 and I’m supposed to dance with my brother. I just don’t know what’s song would be great, growing up was difficult cause we would fight a lot but always still close. He was always my father figure because my dad wasn’t around and I look up to him, anyway I’m just confused on what song would be a good fit. We’re supposed to do like a waltz dance.
Hi Alona. First, I would suggest a song that means something to you and your brother. It does not have to be a waltz song. A song that means something to you both is more than trying to dance the perfect waltz. Check out Thank You – Bon Jovi if you must do the waltz.

Hello, I’m getting married and my older brother would like to sing at the wedding. He is walking me down the aisle and our dance will be to my wish by Rascal Flatts. Is there a song you have in mind he could sing to me and my new husband?
Hi Kirsten. It would help to know if you were thinking during the ceremony or at the reception. If at the ceremony, take a look at our unity candle songs as many would be great that talk about sharing your love together.
Hi, I’m having my Quinceanera in three days and I need a brother and sister song to dance with my brother to. We have a tough life but we’ve always stuck through it and stayed together. He’s always been my role model, being how I never really had a dad, he was my father-figure. Please help!
Hi Sophia. We always suggest selecting a song that has special meaning between both of you first – whether or not you think it is appropriate as both of you will get the meaning. Otherwise, You’ve Got A Friend In Me by Randy Newman (Toy Story) is a favorite of ours.
Hi I have a little sister and she wants to sing a song at my brothers wedding. I have no idea can you help me find a song for her
Hi Mattie. Without knowing how old your “little sister” is, a suggestion may be a love song from a popular animated movie or even the love song from Princess Bride – Mark Knopfler – Storybook Love.
Hi I’m looking for a song that my brother and I can dance to at my reception. We’ve had a pretty rough relationship growing up but are now rekindling our bond. He will be our minister for the wedding and is really trying his hardest to help up out and be there for me. Not really sure what song to choose since we’ve had a rocky relationship for so long. Please help! Oh and he will be dancing with me due to our dad not being there and we don’t talk to him. I want to surprise him with the dance.
Hi Veronica. We would recommend James Taylor – You’ve Got A Friend or Randy Newman – You’ve Got A Friend In Me. Good Luck and congrats!

I need a song about a older brother and younger sister bond!!!! I don’t really want an OLD song. We used to be close and I used to be able to tell him EVERYTHING…. We’ve been fighting a lot lately and I wanted to sing him this song at his 20th birthday in two day! I’m 14 and my brother is 20!!! Any ideas!!!
My brother passed away recently. He was my best friend, my other half, the person I love most in the world. I have been planning a brother sister dance with him for my wedding since I was a little girl. I was more excited about my brother sister dance than my father daughter dance honestly. Now I don’t know what to do. Somehow, I would like to make a tribute to him at my wedding. Any suggestions would be great.
Hi Keli. First, sorry for your loss. If there is any special song that you had between you and your brother would be my first recommendation. I remember a father daughter dance song as You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon because it was a special song between them as they “got it”. So, no matter what song was a special song between you would be the song I would recommend. Lastly, I would pick a song that represents the happy times, just as your wedding day. A suggestion could be The Greatest by Kenny Rogers – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K3DI07Ibb4.
Hi. Im looking for a song from a 10 year old brother to his 12 year old sister who he lost. At her birthday. I know its not marriage but im wondering. Thanks for helping.

Thank you very much means a lot to me
