Anyone Doing a FUN Recessional Song?

Most of our ceremony music is classical--Ava Maria for mothers and bridesmaids and then Cannon D for me. But we wanted to do something FUN to start at the kiss...something to get the party started. Last night we were talking about this and I began thinking back on my childhood (my mother is an 80s music aficionado, lol) and I thought of "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and The News.

What do you think? Any other suggestions? We thought about "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" but since part of it's about break ups we nixed it.

...our bouquet toss is going to be "Uptown Girl" and garter toss is going to be "The Danger Zone"...apparently we have an 80s theme going without realizing it. lol.

What's your recessional song?

    I think either "Power of Love" or "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" would be fun!

    We're doing "All you need is love" it's what I've wanted as our recessional ever since I saw "Love Actually"!

    We are doing "All My Life" by KC and JoJo. FI loves that song so I figured we could work it in somewhere.

    We're doing a song called "Octopus I Love You" by Dalmatian Rex. We ran across it at one point and thought it was hilarious, and then actually started saying "Octopus I love you" to each other- We wanted something unexpected for the recessional too, and it totally fits that bill ;)

    We are doing "Keep your hands to yourself" by the Georgia Satellites. 
    That's FI's favorite song, and we always dance to that and joke about putting a ring on my finger, and "free milk from this cow" lol. Everyone knows thats always our song to dance to when we're out. It'll be fun.

    I think we are going to go the more traditional route.

    We're using the Vitamin String Quartet cover of The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" as our recessional.  FI loves the song and especially the full string cover.  We're using VSQ's covers of "Crash Into Me" and "In Your Eyes" during the ceremony as well, so the recessional is keeping with that theme :)

    We're using that as our recessional song, too!  :)

    We're using other covers of theirs for the processional..."Hallelujah" (Jeff Buckley) for the moms and girls, and "Chasing Cars" for me.

    We are planning to do "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"...but I REALLY LOVE the idea of "Keep Your Hands To Yourself".  That is the best idea I have heard. :)
