Are you and FH going to dance the entire first dance alone, or will the DJ call for the bridal party and others join in at some point?
I'm thinking that I'll have the DJ ask people to join in because I don't like the idea of everyone watching us -- and we are not brilliant dancers either!
But I wondered what was more common.

DH and I danced alone for a tiny bit and then the MC invited the BP to join us and then invited all guests to join us.

We danced alone through the whole thing, I wanted my time in the spotlight!! Then we had a 2nd song where everyone joined us.
I would advise against having the BP only join you unless they're all couples. It's not a jealousy thing, but if I was a BM I'd feel uncomfortable dancing with someone who isn't my DH.

What I would like to do is have the first dance alone but have our guests sing-a-long with the song to us that way they are included and sharing the moment as well.

We danced to it by ourselves. Most of the weddings I've been to the bride and groom dance alone. However, it is fine to have the bp join you.

This is what we're doing as well. Neither one of us are 'spotlight' type people - so I'm more then happy for them to join in!

We'll dance it alone for most of the song so that the photographer can get all the pics and then the bridal party will join in (hopefully)

danced it alone---originally thought i wouldn't like it. but i have to say--those 3 min. or so were one of my favorite parts of the entire day. for that time it was just him and i, and it was like there wasn't any other people in the room.

We're not brilliant dancers either so we're thinking about taking dance lessons so we'll probably dance alone the first song.
I've been trying to price it out since I want to start 6 months before the wedding (FH really needs work )
half way through we will have everyone else join in

FH hates dancing - i wouldn't make him suffer through a whole song! i am having our DJ ask the BP to join in partway through, then the rest of our guests a little after that.

I want half the song for us and then everyone joining in. I'd be balling for too long if it were just us two.
