Picking your Wedding Reception Music Playlists

Picking your
Wedding Music Playlist
is as much a component of a good wedding as food and drink. You can have a wedding without music, but it’s likely it will seem a

little quiet and dull. So whether you have a full live band, a string quartet, a DJ spinning tunes or recorded music from a boom box, it should be

included.

But music’s not just for dancing. There are a myriad of activities you can plan around The Music that will add an element of fun to your wedding.

One popular idea is to play musical chairs. Sure, this is a fun kid’s game and you don’t want to insult your guests in any way, but you can have

some fun with this version of musical chairs. The chairs can be just about anything, from chairs lined up from the food tables, to the floor, if

you think your guests might be open to sitting on the floor (and then having to get up and down again). One fun option is to use the men as the

chairs – they kneel on the floor, with one knee on the floor and the other bent. The women sit lightly on the men’s’ knees as they are playing

musical chairs. When either the man or woman falls down, that couple is out, until one couple is left.

Some brides and grooms like to play musical chairs in order to give away the table centerpiece, which many guests like to take home. Instead

of assigning a number and awarding the centerpiece to the person in possession of that number, you have each table play musical chairs until

the person left standing is the one that gets to take home the centerpiece.

How about a rousing game of “name that tune”? This is a game that’s best for a smaller, intimate wedding where everyone knows the bride and

groom well. Prior to the wedding, whoever is planning the wedding should get a list of favorite Songs of both the bride and groom. Create a

CD of those songs, and then create a game of “name that tune”. Guests can be divided into teams and then be played just a small snippet of each song.

After guests hear that first snippet, they can then “bid” on how quickly they can name the tune. So one group might say they can name the

tune in 10 seconds, while the other group might say 5 seconds. Once one group has bowed out, the other group will then have to “name that

tune”. This is a fun game that gets everyone involved and which the bride and groom are particularly delighted by.

Depending on the style of the wedding, there are many fun games you can play to get the bride and groom out on the dance floor. Now, if this

is a very large and very elegant wedding, this option might not work since there is certain decorum to maintain, but for a casual, fun,

family-centered wedding some of these games can be fun.

If guests want to “call out” the wedding couple onto the dance floor, they can be asked to get out on the dance floor themselves first

and hula hoop or perform their own version of a break dance. Much in the way guests sometimes have to “perform” to get the couple the

kiss this is another way to get the guests involved and having fun in order to create fun wedding memories for the bride and groom.
