Yay or Nay on Parents Dance

I need opinions on whether or not to have a parents dance at our reception. I've always wanted to have my FI and I dance with my parents (as couples) to the song they had as their first dance at their wedding. My FIs parents are divorced so we will not be doing a parents dance with his parents. Is it weird to have a parents dance with my parents and not his? 

I've thought about just using their first dance song and inviting all guests to dance so it's not as weird but I'm not sure about that idea either. HELP!

    His parents might feel a bit left out if you do yours and not this.  Are his parents remarried or dating?  Maybe it can be 4 couples dancing to your parents song?  Don't invite all the guest to dance, it takes away from the moment.

    Just skip them altogether.  In your case, you don't want to appear to be celebrating your parents but ignoring his.  And frankly, the "first dances" are so boring for guests outside of the bride-groom first dance (and maybe even that one).
