Is the bride supposed to dance with the FIL and the Groom dance with his MIL????  If so can you do the two dances together and what are some good song choices????

    It's your wedding, so what YOU want to do. :) I don't think this is one of the traditonal dances but during your party it's a thoughtful gesture to take a spin on the floor with your FIL and your hubby with your mother.

    You can do it anyway you like. I danced with my FIL but we did not designated a specific song, we just did it during the dollar dance (yes, we did this bc it is common in our family/social circles even though I know some people don't like it, think its tacky, etc.). My H also danced with my Mom at some point, but I believe it was just at random bc I don't remember a specific song when we did our playlist for the dj.

    But you can do it anyway you want. Why don't you ask your FFIL and FMIL what they want? That way there won't be any surprises or unexpected calling them to the dance floor by the dj.

    I have seen this done - I've seen the Bride/groom first dance, then the father/daughter and mother/son dance and then I've seen FIL/bride, SIL/MOB but I haven't seen it often.

    I think you can or you can skip it if anyone is uncomfortable - plus guests get bored watching all the special dances. Other than bride/groom and bride/dad, groom/mom - that's kind of enough.  (In my opinion)

    It's up to you. We're only doing first dance and then I dance with my father. he's not dancing with his mother....and we're doing open dancing after that so we're not doing a formal specific dance with MIL/FIL unless we want to do that during open dancing

    YOu certainly can if you want to.  But just take a moment and dance with your new FIL.  Don't make your guests stand around and watch yet another spotlight dance.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    In this neck of the woods that's not really a common thing to do.  But if it's the norm for where you are and your social circle, then do it if you want to.  It's your wedding so have fun with it!

    You don't have to dance with anyone you don't want to.
