Dance/Reception Song Suggestions?

Hey ladies, I know I'm ahead of time here but I'm trying to come up with ideas for what songs I want to use for things like the garter & bouquet toss, father daughter dance, etc. Here are the one's I know I want to use. The one's I left blank are the one's I'd LOVE to hear your suggestions or what you're using. Thanks for any ideas!

P.S. I'm doing a dance with both my dad and stepdad. Nothing corny like Butterfly Kisses please! Hahah ;).

Introductions: (thinking about using) I Believe in a Thing Called Love- The Darkness

First Dance: Only You Can Love Me This Way- Keith Urban

Father Daughter: Dad:
                             Stepdad:

Cake: 1,2,3,4 - Plain White T's

Garter:
Bouquet:

Last Dance:

Thanks Ladies! <3

    Mine might be cheesy but for my dad I'm doing It won't be like this for long by Darius Rucker and for my bouquet toss it's "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. Garter Toss I think is "The boys are back in town"

    For the father daughter dance you could use "Thank heaven for little girls"

    Father Daughter: Dad: (I used Butterfly Kisses =P But in hindsight I wish I'd used You Can't Always Get What You Want by the Rolling Stones. I Loved Her First or Stealing Cinderella are good ones, too. Really, there are lots of great daddy-daughter country songs.
                                 Stepdad:  I Hope You Dance. What A Wonderful World is also good.

    Garter: Removal: Keep Your Hands to Yourself
                 Toss: Sharp Dressed Man
    Bouquet: Man! I Feel Like a Woman

    Last Dance: God Blessed the Broken Road
    That's Mrs.skWhitneyAmanda to you!

    You're my true love, my whole heart ♥ ♥ ♥ <-- Married Bio <br>

    Thanks for the suggestions ladies! My dad hates country unfortunately :(. But my stepdad loves it so I can use one of those for him :). I was thinking of maybe doing My Wish by Rascal Flatts for my stepdad.

    Keep em coming ladies! I need all the help I can get haha! Definitely going to do God Bless the Broken Road as my last song. How could I have forgotten that one! Silly me :P.

    I thought about using the same song for the intros too! LOL. FI didn't love it though. We are going to go with "F-in In the Bushes" by Oasis for the Bridal Party and "Without Honor or Humanity" by Tomoyasu Hotei.

    Cake Cutting: How Sweet It Is by JR Walker and the All Stars

    I'm using "Daughter" by Loudon Wainwright for the Father/Daughter Dance and for the last dance we have 2. The second to last dance is "Save the Last Dance" by Michael Buble and the last dance is "You and Me" by Dave Matthews Band.

    I thought it would be a really fun intro song hehe! What do you guys think about using If You Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart for when FI is taking off the garter? I thought it'd be funny/cute :).

    I love that song! Do it!!!

    Lol, for some odd reason I had that Rod Stewart song in my head today!  I'm trying to decide the song for the garter toss and removal.  I wanted to do Let's Get It On for the removal, but FI said no because that's what my sister used at her wedding.

    Hahaha! For some reason every time I hear that song by Rod I instantly think of the chips ahoy cookie commercial! Remember that one?! HAHAHA! :P

    chels, i didn't want anything corny either, but i told my dad to pick a song and he searched and searched and searched online. somehow he found "My Little Girl" by tim mcgraw and decided he wanted it. haha. so we went with it :) i wanted to do "Your Song" by elton john.

    I found this song Walk With You by Edwin Mccain that's really pretty. I told my dad to listen to it and see what he thinks. If he likes it, I'll use that for him and probably use My Wish by Rascal Flatts for my stepdad. If my dad doesnt like it though, I can use Walk With You for him instead. My dad's such a party pooper and doesnt like country music :/. So no country songs for him.

    The daddy/daughter dance was my biggest stressor in the weeks before the wedding LOL. My dad didn't care what song. sigh.
    I ended up going with "Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Hicks"
    It was the only song I coudl find that didn't make me feel too sappy or too "baby girl". My "dad' is my stepdad so it just didn't feel right to do any of the other "daddy" songs.

    As for the rest here is what we used
    BP Intros: Living on a Prayer (Bon Jovi)....mine and my best friends fave!
    Our intro: This will be an Everlasting Love...because it was the eHarmony song and that's where we met LOL
    Garter Toss: let's get it on...(while he took it off...then he had our DJ play Hot for Teacher LOL)
    Bouquet Toss: Girls Just Want to Have Fun

    Last Dance: (officially) At Last....but we also played "I Just Call You Mine by Martina McBride" as one of the last songs.

    I did lots of googling and itunes was my friend too LOL. I listened to a lot of sneak peaks :)

    All of our bridal party came in in pairs and each pair came in to a different song. Everyone really liked it, so that could be fun for you too.

    Oh and our last dance was "Today Was A Fairytale" by Taylor Swift. It was awesome.
