bridal party dance

what song could we have the bridal party dance to at the reception??

Persoanlly, I think you should skip the BParty dance all together.
No one in the BParty likes doing them, and none of the guests like watching them.
There are enough dances with yours & DH's / mom & son / father & daughter.
JMO.

It depends on what kind of music you like. An upbeat song is less awkward that coupling everyone up for a slow dance. I like when people have each member of the bridal party dance with their dates. It's kind of a way to thank, say, a bridesmaids boyfriend for hanging out all day.

No one has ever liked the bridal party dance in the history of ever.

lol aerin.  OP:  I haven't seen a WP dance in decades.  I didn't have one at my wedding 32 years ago.  My son and DIL didn't have one at their wedding 4 years ago today.  My DD and SIL didn't have one at their wedding a year ago.

WP dances are uncomfortable for your WP and boring for your guests.  Uncomfortable and boring are two words I wouldn't want associated with my wedding.

yeah I agree with the "boring for guests"
Im not doing one.

I'm doing one and have seen them recently. They are more for inviting everyone else onto the dance flow - they start and about halfway everyone is invited to join them.

Why can't the guests just start at the beginning of the song?  Why is having a WP dance a better way to start the guests dancing?  Doesn't make sense at all to me.

If the dj picks a great song to open the dance floor, people will go out whether your WP is already dancing or not.
