Parent Dances - w/step-parents - Poll

How is everyone handling the parent dances? My parents are divorced and my mom is remarried.

I know we'll do the Father Daugher dance, and the Mother Son dance...but not sure if we should do the 'parent swap'....meaning I dance with his dad and he dances with my mom...and I would have to work my stepdad in there somewhere.

I'm thinking we'll do the 2 main dances - F/D, M/S (I definitely don't want anyone cutting in on me and my dad during our song)- and then have another dance afterward where it's B/FOG, G/MOB...and I can either start the dance with my stepdad or finish it with him - splitting the song between him and my FFIL.

OR - I could just do the F/D & M/S dances and then have a special dance later on with my stepdad (to appease my mom).

Any thouhts?

I think that could work. I know its so very frustrating dealing with divorced parents. I have no idea how I am going to handle the introductions. Anyway, is your mom dead set on you dancing with you step dad? If so, I think you could do it later on in the night like you suggested otherwise it may get a little crazy trying to coordinate it all in the beginning. Its unfortanate when so many demands are placed on us. Good luck!

I would not do the parent swap unless its something thats very important to you.

I think it could get too crazy....too much to coordinate. My mom just wants to make sure my stepdad is included wherever all parents are...so if we only do F/D, M/S dances...it's really not an issue. Spoke to FH and we'll probably stick with that and make a point of asking the other parents to dance throughout the night.
