Choosing the songs you want played at your reception seems like a simple thing to do. Just go down your mp3 player and check mark them off. Right? Not quite.
Here are some tips to keep in mind to create the "just right" playlist that will keep your guests dancing and enjoying your reception.
1. Choose songs with appropriate lyrics. Some songs just aren't for weddings. Songs like "I Will Always Love You", by Whitney Houston, and "White Wedding", by Billy Idol seem perfect. Don't let the title mislead. Listen closer to the lyrics and you'll discover that these songs are all about breaking up. Common sense says stay away from break up songs.
2. Choose songs with the ages of your guests' in mind. Think about choosing PG13 songs that your grandmother and great aunt wouldn't be embarrassed to hear.
3. Choose songs with the perfect beat. Some songs just do not lend themselves to dancing. On the other hand, there are tunes that get just about everybody out on the dance floor at the first note.
4. Choose songs that your guests look forward to hearing. You might even give your guests an opportunity to make requests when they RSVP. You want your guests to remember your reception as one of the best they have ever experienced!
