Can the Mother-Son Dance be before the Father-Daughter Dance?

   I have an idea for my father-daughter dance, but I don't want it to seem too long, since it will be 2 full songs for me and my dad, and just one song for my fiance and his mom. 
   My song with my dad is Bread's Everything I Own, but everytime anyone asks about any song, my dad always says Nazareth's Hair of the Dog, as a joke. He even said it as the Father-Daughter Dance. So as a joke and also because it is awesome, I want to do a regular FD Dance song and a fun one, pretty much to make fun of my dad. The song would be played anyway sometime during the evening.
   So Can the Mother-Son Dance be first or should I just have a long Father-Daughter Dance followed by the Mother-Son Dance?

    I don't think it would upset anyone to have the Mother-Son dance first. However, I think it'd be strange to watch you dance to two songs. Plus, that's a long time to be on the dance floor by yourselves. It might be better to just have the second dance later in the night.

    No one cares what order the dances are in, people just want them to be over.  I would not have multiple father-daughter dances.  Pick one for the spotlight dance, and you can have the other played during the evening and dance with your father again during open dancing.  

    I would not choose the one that makes fun of him for the spotlight dance.  Even if you think it's something he will like, a child's wedding can be really emotional, and I wouldn't risk upsetting him.
