Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

Music or Not?

My family is not big on dancing but his family is. His Mom had a big fancy wedding and she is expecting me to too. I stuck between having people dance or not. What does everyone else think?

    If you don't have dancing, you'll probably have a shorter reception.  Are you okay with that?

    What do you envision your reception to be like? 

    And the #1 question:  who's paying for it?  Because if his parents are paying, they get a say.  If they're not, it's your choice.

    If you want a shorter, no dancing, mingle and chat reception:  pay for it yourself.  Then you can have whatever you want.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    I would say that if you are having an evening reception then dancing would be implied. If it is an afternoon garden wedding of some sort, maybe you could just have some background music. I don't know if you are having a large wedding ,but remember that people are coming to celebrate your day and want to have a good time. think about other people just besides your own family- i.e. coworkers, friends, etc.

    I agree with the pp. Try to also think about your guests as well & them coming to celebrate with you!
