If you\u2019re not sure whether you want a first dance at your wedding reception, you aren\u2019t alone, we know couples can find it tricky.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you hate dancing, and don\u2019t want to do it with everyone watching \u2013 don\u2019t worry, your guests won\u2019t judge! They will just be happy to see you and your new spouse have a little chat for three or four minutes while you sway from side to side\u202f \u2013 which is what most first dances end up being.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the soppiness of it, a slow first dance is probably your best bet if you are a little worried about dancing. If you\u2019ve got moves, and you want to show them off, something faster can definitely work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weddings are frantic, and over the course of the day you\u2019ll hardly get a moment to yourself, let alone with your new husband or wife. Everyone there will want to talk to you, and there\u2019s timings and speeches to worry about. The first dance can be a little calm in the storm. First dances are a great way to put a momentary pause on a wedding day.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, the first dance is a great ice breaker to move the day from meal to massive party, and 99 times out of 100, the dance floor gets fuller faster when there is a first dance, compared to when there isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t sure which song to pick, try writing down separate lists of at least 10 songs without conferring. Songs that make you smile and think of your other half when you listen to them. The ones that give you goosebumps, or send those tiny little hairs on the back of your neck standing on end.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there are none that match, make a playlist of your partner\u2019s suggestions, and get them to make a playlist of yours. Listen to them when you\u2019re not together and see if you get those goosebumps from any of your partner\u2019s suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n
