Tips for choosing a first dance song

When choosing a first dance song, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

• Mood: Choose a song that has the right mood for your wedding. Do you want a romantic and sentimental song, or something more upbeat and fun?
• Meaning: Choose a song that has special meaning to you and your partner. It could be a song that you first danced to, or a song that reminds you of your relationship.

Here are a few additional tips for choosing a first dance song:

• Consider your dance style: If you’re planning on doing a choreographed first dance, you’ll need to choose a song that is suitable for your dance style.
• Get your partner’s input: It’s important to choose a song that you both love. Don’t just pick a song because you think it’s popular or traditional.
