Although the \u2018old\u2019 days had a very basic structure to the wedding schedule of events, times have changed \u2026 and those rules don\u2019t always apply anymore. So, when it comes to who dances with whom at the reception, these days you can pick and choose.<\/p>\n

Lining up the Dance Partners<\/h2>\n

It goes without saying that the bride and the groom dance first. This creates a beautiful photo opp for everyone who brought a camera. The next dance can include the wedding party and their respective partners, along with the new couple. The parent dances come next. The bride dances with her father, and the groom dances with his mother. Then the bride dances with her new father-in-law, and the groom dances with his new mother-in-law. In the case of extended families, it\u2019s thoughtful to switch it up so that each half of the couple dances with all the stepparents, too.<\/p>\n

If the bride or groom has a deceased parent, another relative can step in. Someone should announce to everyone why this is happening. This is a great way to honor those who\u2019ve passed while still celebrating the moment. After these traditional dances, you\u2019ll find more opportunities to plan dances with other special people in everyone\u2019s life. But keep in mind: it can be boring for guests to sit at the tables and watch dance after dance. It\u2019s sometimes more fun if you invite everyone on the dance floor after the crucial dances finish up.<\/p>\n
