How to Pick the Perfect First Dance Song

How to Pick the Perfect First Dance Song

Your first dance isn’t just a tradition—it’s a moment.

It’s the first time you take the floor as a married couple.

And that song? It should feel like you.

But with thousands of love songs out there, how do you choose?

Here are a few tips to help you find your perfect first dance song:

1. Go Personal

Think about a song that already has meaning for you.

Your first concert? A favorite movie? A moment on a road trip?

Your love story deserves a soundtrack that’s yours.

2. Listen to the Lyrics

Does the message fit your relationship?

Make sure it tells your story and feels right emotionally.

3. Consider the Tempo

Do you want slow and romantic?

Or fun, upbeat, and choreographed?

Pick a song that matches your comfort level—and vibe.

4. Keep It Short & Sweet

You don’t need to dance for 4 full minutes—ask your DJ to fade it out gracefully if needed.
