FMIL thinks that I should dance with FFIL while she's dancing with FH. I thought that it was like a solo dance for FMIL and FH. What do I do when they're dancing? I never thought about this before she brought it up but I have no idea what the right answer is!

I think you should stand there and look pretty! That's what I plan on doing!

I agree with jpavig. I know I sure don't want to dance with FFIL. We don't know each other that well. Let's all just stand there and look pretty!!!

Another vote for looking pretty and doing nothing :)

Yeah- I think you can just hang out and look on.. We are doing these dances are own way-- I will lead the dance with my dad- then FH and FMIL will come on the dancefloor after the first chorus, then after that-- we are going to invite all Father/Daughters and Mothers/Sons on the dance floor to join us. So- that alleviates that problem for us!

I think it would look nice if you stood at the edge of the dance floor and watched. I saw a picture from one bride whose photographer captured the moment perfectly. Her husband and MIL were dancing and behind them in the distance you could see the bride looking on. I think all others standing around were blurred out. It was a nice effect.

Thanks for your opinions! I was hoping you'd say I could just stand on the side! I think FMIL was partly saying that because she's a little uncomfy having all that attention on her. She's really great that way!

Stand there next to your daddy and smile at them the entire song, maybe add a tear or two That's what i did. It feels kind of funny but so many people were looking at me and my reaction to DH & his mom dancing.

You could have them dance for a bit, then have the dj/band leader ask all of the other mothers and sons present to join them on the dance floor.
And when you're dancing with your dad, have the other fathers and daughters join them.
If you have enough fathers/daughters and mothers/sons, it makes for a wonderful moment.
My cousin did this and it was really great.

DH and I joked that while he danced with his mom, that I'd dance with mine and while I danced with my dad, he'd dance with his. We didn't, but it would've been funny

Hey Jenn! Here's my two cents for what it's worth. It's a very special moment and you'll probably want to be able to watch like everyone else, but if you don't or you feel like you need something to keep you occupied I would think it's a good time for you to visit with people, greet them, thank them for coming, etc.

Re: What do I do when FH is dancing with FMIL?
If my father shows up (long story there), I will dance with him and FH will dance with FMIL at the same time since neither of us are comfy being in the spotlight 100%.
