Surprise First Dance??

My mom and dad never did get a first dance at their wedding. We have been thinking about surprising them with a 'first dance'! It would catch them off guard and would be very special to them. I did get 'their song' out of my mom the other day!!! =)

Any ideas on how/when to incorporate this into the reception?

    At the end of your dance with your father, lead him to your mother as the DJ cues up their dance.  

    Alternately, if your husband is dancing with your mom while you are dancing with your Dad, switch partners at the end of the father daughter dance

    [QUOTE]I wouldn't announce it, I would just have your DJ play "their song". They'll know, and you'll know and that's all that is important. I don't think anything else needs to be done, personally.
