Reception music suggestions

I need some help picking songs for the reception.  I've been told we need a song when the DJ introduces us, a song for cutting the cake and a last dance song.  We've already chosen our first dance song, dad/daughter dance and an exit song (I don't know if that's really done, but my fiance liked the idea of leaving to the song "Eastbound and Down" because he's obsessed with Smokey and the Bandit).  Sigh. 

Can ya'll help me out with some suggestions?  I would greatly appreciate it! 

Thanks!

    I have the songs we used in my planning bio under Music.

    Don't stress out about it though.  You can cut the cake without a song, come in without a song, etc.  When we were about to go into the ballroom, our DJ asked us what song we wanted to come in to and we just said, "Pick one."

    If you google these things you will literally find HUNDREDS of lists.   Honestly though, I would skip that and just pick songs that you like.

    There are a few songs good for cake cutting  like "How Sweet it Is (to be loved by you"" and some others that are "sweets" related that I thougth were cute.

    Haha!!  LOL.  Sadly no :(  NCIS.   I thought about that after the fact.  BBT would have been fun...we always sing the intro when it comes on.  *BANG*
