Fun Facts

Being selected for a wedding couple’s wedding party is more than just celebrating at the wedding. The wedding couple entrusts you to do certain things. Check out our article: Wedding Party Roles – Each Member and Their Roles. And don’t worry about what to call them if your wedding is genderless. Having people stand up for you is all that matters, regardless of those roles.

Remember, this is your day to celebrate your love. Feel free to break from Western tradition or adopt one that suits you best.

No. The wedding party dance is not required. It’s your wedding and your reception. If you don’t have a large bridal party or things got weird when the groomsman and bridesmaid just broke up, you can skip it. They can always join in after the last of the formal dance songs.

A wedding party dance is not a required dance in the list of formal dance songs. However, it is a great way to get people in a partying mood and watch people dancing. The wedding party song can also be the start of asking all wedding guests to join in on the dance floor.

Depending on your desired wedding theme, you can choose songs with a “friend” theme, a “love” theme, or just plain – Let’s Get This Party Started! We have included many different music styles, tempos, and eras below. A great mixture to find the perfect wedding party dance song. If you are just looking to get the party started, also check out our list of Best Party Songs for weddings.
