Finding a suitable
father and daughter wedding song depends on just how soppy you want
the moment to be. There are some very sentimental songs to choose
from that will have even dad in tears, and then there are some more
fun and offbeat songs that will complement the moment just as well.
Your DJ or Band
will usually start your father and daughter wedding song straight
after your first dance. This can be done with an announcement from
your MC or without. It all depends on how much focus you want on
you at that time. Just discuss your wants with your DJ, band leader
or MC before the wedding so there is no confusion as to how you
would like things to happen.
Some people
choose to do the Father Daughter Dance together with the Mother
Son Dance. If you would like to go for this option then choose a
song you all like, or see the generic list of song on the [link]Mother
Son Dance[link] page.

Some
alternatives to the traditional Father & Daughter Dance:
There
are many reasons why brides would choose to either not do the traditional
fater and daugther wedding song, or to do something different for
this moment. Your relationship with your father may be a little
strained or you may need to dance with both your real father and
a step father. Try some of the following alternatives:
1.
Instead of the often tear jerking father and daughter dance, why
not rehearse a fun line dance, the time warp, Zorba The Greek or
something similar. This could be a lot of fun to practice and will
definately get a few laughs at the reception.
2.
If you and your father can sing, why not try karaoke instead of
a father and daughter dance song? Choose a duet and you can even
ask your guests to join in on the chorus.
3.
If you or your father is a little shy and you are afraid of being
left on the floor to dance the whole song alone, then why not incorporate
your mom and the groom's parents as well. You can even combine the
father and daughter dance with the mother and son dance if you like.
This way you will not be on your own on the floor and nobody will
feel left out.
4.
If you like the tradition of the father and daughter wedding song,
but your father is not present, then choose another special person
like a favourite uncle or grandfather for this dance.
