  I think that would be a cute song for the wedding party!

  I'm not doing a Wedding Party dance.  I guess they can be fun but it seems to "fad"ish for me.

  <div>I didn't do one either. I think they're incredibly outdated not to mention they can be very awkward if some of the people in your wedding party barely know each other. </div><div>
  </div><div>My cousin had one except the bridal party members danced with their dates. Seemed a lot more nice and fun. </div>

  We're doing one, but not a slow dance so they don't feel awkward dancing with one other person. I think we might do "Cupid's Shuffle" so it's silly and fun and then others can join in if they like.

  We didn't do one. They generally aren't looked upon very highly around here. It can become very awkward to put your WP in the spotlight like that. If they want to dance with each other or request a special song, then fine. I know a lot of our WP just danced together just on their own accord.

  But isn't your wedding party in the spotlight when they announce their names when they come in or are you not doing that either

  I haven't seen a WP dance in decades, and for good reason.  They're boring for guests to have to watch, and uncomfortable for members of the WP. 
  
  And boring and uncomfortable aren't words I'd want associated with my wedding.

      I guess I don't get this because they wouldn't be watching for long since the wedding party dances for very little then the dj invites everyone on the dance floor since it is a song they would watch it for less than a minute...Or is this not how most people do it? 
      It is a tradition that I have seen at recent weddings...plus members of my wedding party want it so I would feel rude dropping it.  But, I don't know what songs to pick since I don't obviously want a total love fest song.

  I'd still just skip it.  After your dance, simply have the dj invite all guests to join you on the dance floor. Why do you need to put in the additional step of the WP dancing first?

  I guess mostly tradition much like the parent dances...isn't that why we have those...plus as I said some of my wedding party are looking forward to it.

  Love Like Crazy by Lee Brice (Country) I picked it because it is cute, not sexual, and only like 2.5 minutes which is good because most of the couples walking down together are not friends and I don't want them to be in akward situations for too long.

  How very, um,  thoughtful of you. =/
  
   But don't you think it would be better not to put them in an awkward situation at all instead of "for a short time"?
