1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

I've seen it done both ways. I think I'd prefer for us to dance that one song alone - we have the rest of the night to have everyone else on the dancefloor with us.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

I haven't decided for sure yet, but I think we're going to let everyone or at least the BP join in. I don't want everyone staring at us for that long. I get too anxious

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

The only reason we danced it alone was because we took lessons and had a routine. If we didn't do this I probably would have had everyone join in.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We will be dancing our first song alone.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

I think we are planning on doing it all alone!

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We are going to dance alone, then have a 2nd dance song and invite BP, then all.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We are dancing alone.... We are NOT dancers by any means-- but it is our First dance as man and wife-- I don't want to share that with anyone (even if we make fools of ourselves!)

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

I think our song is just a wee bit too long to ask people to watch only us. We're gonna invite everyone- I feel bad for the awkwardness of BP having to dance with each other (I always hated that when i was in BPs).

Besides, we're gonna have a spotlight dance later on in the night, to a much shorter song.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

I think FH and I are gonna have people join us half way into the song

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We are going to have a choreographed dance, so we will probably dance the entire song ourselves.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We will dance our song all by ourselves. I want it to be special- just for us!!! I will have a bridal party song after that. I don't know what song I will use though. A friend of mine got married and her BM wore red dresses so the bridal party song they played was 'lady in red' which I thought was really cool. I wish I could come up with something as clever but my BM are wearing cinnamon.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

I think we are going to have the bp join in, we did this at my sisters wedding and it was a nice time to get pictures of the bp together.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We're dancing alone, and then having a second song where everyone can join in.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We had people join-FH is not a dancer and cant stand to have too many people staring at him, so a little after halfway thru the DJ asked everyone out on the floor

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

midway through our parents joined in, then teh bridal party, then everyone else!

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

Our first song we danced alone, then the second song we had our parents join us, then the bridal party (they could choose a partner, so they could dance with dates that were not in the bridal party), then everyone joined in.

Re: 1st dance alone -- or letting others join in?

We chose a 5-7 minute first dance. So the DJ was instructed to allow us to dance for the first 2-3 minutes and then he invited the wedding party up on the dance floor for about 1 minute and then the rest of the guests were asked to join the happy couple. It was beautiful on the wedding video. I think every guest was up on the dance floor dancing.
