So I am planning on having the traditional Father/Daughter dance because I truly am a Daddy's little girl but I also am having a Mother/Daughter dance because my mom is like my best friend and I want to honor her as well.  My plan is to do the Father/Daughter dance first, followed by the Mother/Son dance for my FI and then the Mother/Daughter dance for my mom and I.  I just don't know if this order makes sense or how I should change it.  I thought about maybe doing the traditional Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances and then later in the evening do the Mother/Daughter dance, but I didn't know if this would be weird to do two special dances and then an hour or later come back and do another one?  Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Anniversary

    I've been to more weddings than I can count -- I used to DJ receptions. Most of the time, people got really bored when there were a bunch of spotlight dances. I think the order that you're thinking of sounds okay, and I would do them all together if you're going to do all three. But I would caution against doing too many special events.

    Are you planning on doing a bunch of others as well? Garter/bouquet, wedding party dance, dollar dance (ew), etc? First dance? If you're doing all of those in addition to parent dances, I would consider cutting back. If you want to have a dance with both of your parents, you could start a slow song with your dad, then part of the way through the song, fade into something fun and upbeat and have Mom join you both.

    ETA: You can always just make it a point to dance with your mom at some point in the night without stopping the party to make it an event that everyone has to watch.
