which dance goes first?

the father-daughter or the husband-wife dance?

Re: which dance goes first?

the husband wife dance is the very first dance at a wedding

Re: which dance goes first?

Does the father/daughter and mother/son dance immediately follow? When the introductions of the bridal party are made, is anyone having their bridesmaids dance with the groomsmen? I don't know if I want to do that b/c some may feel awkward.

Re: which dance goes first?

The way I have always seen it done is first is the husband/wife dance and then the band/dj invites the bridal party and/or guest to join in.... then later in the reception, it's the Father/Daughter and then Mother/Son.

My father-daughter dance was done after cake cutting I believe.

Re: which dance goes first?

both pete & i don't really like to be the center of attention & that day is about us enuf already - i think what i'll do is have a joint father/daughter & mother/son dance......

Re: which dance goes first?

We did our father/daughter & mother/son dance after cutting the cake.

Re: which dance goes first?

i've always imagined dancing with my dad before my husband .. would that be wrong?

Re: which dance goes first?

There is no right/wrong for these traditions, but as a guest I would find it a bit odd. The wedding is about the joining of you and your husband, and dancing with your father first to me would seem as though that relationship takes priority.

Re: which dance goes first?

I think you should dance first w/your husband. The day is about your relationship with him.

Re: which dance goes first?

I would not dance with your father first, no matter how close you are. I agree that it would be making that relationship a priority, and wouldn't be right. What if your husband said he wanted to dance with his mother before dancing with you? I think this would not sit well. I would definitely dance with your husband first - that's why they call it the 'First Dance' - it's supposed to be the first dance on the dance floor, before which no one else dances. You and your new husband 'open' the dance floor by dancing together!

Re: which dance goes first?

that makes perfect sense..

i guess for some reason i was thinking about it as a transition. like going from daddy's little girl to being a wife .. so i thought it would go in that order.

but ok i shall change things up.. thanks!
