First Dance Songs: Should You Choose a Classic, or a Unique First Dance Song?

Tuesday August 12, 2008
This DJ survey of popular wedding music and first dance songs has been making the rounds of the wedding blogosphere lately. Many bloggers are pointing to it as good place to find suggestions for your first dance.

There is a reason these songs are so popular; they've got beautiful lyrics and music, and tempos that work well for dancing. But many couples we know struggle to find a song that not only fits their relationship, but is also unique. They don't want a song that their guests will have heard at another wedding. So they purposefully avoid songs on lists such as these. Will you go for a song that is classic or unique? Check out our list of first dance songs. It's a good mix of the classics, new songs, and ones you probably haven't thought of in a long time.

For completely unique songs we found these guys on the net from word of mouth at a wedding we went to, they are superb and really reasonable. Me and my wife are currently creating a song with them and are amazed at the way it is turning out!

It’s totally personal preference…if there’s a song that both you and your husband love, and it has intrinsic value to you both, go for it!
