Too many slow songs???

Too many slow songs???

Hi Everyone, I have a question. I have this thing for slow songs (I love sooo many of them), and I want to incorporate them into the reception. BUT, I also really want people to be out there and dancing and having a great time. So, my question is this... including the typical dances like first dance, second dance, mother/son, and father/daughter dances, I have 12 slow songs. Is that too many??? All your opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm probably going to have the same problem when I put my song list together. Twelve songs at approximately 4 mins each is less than an hour of slow songs. Doesn't seem too bad to me.

Re: Too many slow songs???

could you have some of them played during dinner? that way you can still hear them.

Re: Too many slow songs???

I know! FH and I never think there are enough slo w songs at weddings..but 12 is a lot. I think playing some fo them during dinner is a good idea, toward the end of dinner, as people finish eating they cna get up and dance..but ti doens't ruin the party for all of the singles

Re: Too many slow songs???

IMO, I never hear enough slow songs. I want at least 2 or 3 slow songs that I can dance to with FH.

Thanks for all your great ideas ladies! I picked a few to be played during dinner. I now have 5 slow songs for everyone to dance to (including our 2nd dance where everyone will come up and join us). What would I do without you all?

Re: Too many slow songs???

I gave my DJ a list of all the slow songs I wanted played, in order of importance. Then I left it all up to him. He played a lot of them, but knew when to mix in the faster stuff. The dance floor was full throughout the night.
