The answer is not "shots." Although shots don't hurt.
If you're super into pop music, you should totally ask your band or DJ to set up a pop-heavy playlist. But you also need to keep in mind that not all of your wedding guests will be up on the latest from Katy Perry. Weddings get SUPER fun, IMHO, when the dance floor is packed, and that's not going to happen if your older guests are hanging out on the fringes asking, "What DOES rhyme with 'hug me,' Robin Thicke?" With that in mind, also ask your band or DJ to play music that transcends generations. Here are five songs to get your dance mix started:
- "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire
- "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey
- "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi
- "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson
- "For Once In My Life" by Stevie Wonder
Will you play music for every generation at your wedding? Or are you planning to cater to your younger guests, who are the ones who REALLY dance?
