Ok, so i was at a family wedding this weekend. It was lovely. However i am concerned that when all the scheduled dances accur that people are going to be bored. I really want the bridal dance, our first dance, and the father daughter, mother son dances, but would it be tacky to have everyone join in after we have started the dances?
I just dont want people to get bored?

I started my first dance then the wedding party started in about 2 mins later then have the dj ask your guest to join. That way you don't feel like your guset are counting down to go home.

I skipped everything but the first dance (we had too many extended relationships in our family that we would have been dancing all night), which the song was so long I had the bridal party join us half way through. Try doing that and then combine the father/daugther and mother/groom dances together. Your groom dancing with your mom can be combined with you dancing with his dad and there will only be 3 dances with out the guests joined in, have the songs for the parent dances be short and sweet.

This is what I'm planning.
Start our dance together then ask all married couples to join. Then a little later combine the father-daughter and mother-son dance and midway through ask all mother-sons and father-daughters to join us. Sitting through all those dances and not being a part of them is lame-o. And we're not doing the bridal party dance. I think the bridal party would much rather dance with their dates than with other members of the bridal party, so we're skipping that all together.

As soon as your photographer gets his shots you are free to have others join in. You can start with the bride and groom dancing to their song and then change into a song for the bride and her father and then end up with a song for the groom and his mother. This means that you have short versions of all three songs but people will love the smooth transition from one to the other. Your guests will pay more attention and appreciate the way that the reception moves along.

I agree with the idea of the mother/son dance & father/daughter to start just the two of you. Then have all the mothers & sons join in & the fathers & daughters. It's nice to include your guests. I wish we would have done that for my son's wedding. The mother/son & father/daughter are two different dances though.

If you're having a DJ, you get to choose what specific dances you want. Usually, everyone joins in the dancing after the first couple of minutes of those special dances. at least, that is the way it was at all the weddings i have been to.

Usually, just the "first dance" is done by yourselves, and t can be done very short , and if you get your bridal party to start in quickly, then people will get the clue...

i know what you mean, and here´s what we did...
My new husband and I danced half the first song, and then my Dad cut in, and I danced the rest with him, and my husband danced the rest of the song with my stepmom.

they won't get bored, just space them out so they're not back to back.
