  Will they be dancing as couples or will they be dancing as a group?  If coupled, will they be dancing with their SOs or with each other?  Just trying to get an idea as to the tempo and vibe you're looking for.

  [QUOTE]Please skip the bridal party dance. As someone who has participated in them before, I give you the advice of just not doing it. Unless the person you are paired with happens to be your best friend or significant other, they are totally awkward. And as a guest, it's just one more dance to watch instead of participate in. Do your first dance, parent dances, and then open the floor to all guests. Trust me, your bridal party will thank you for dropping this dance.

  I agree.  If you MUST do a bridal party dance, let them dance with their dates and don't make them dance with each other.  I'd be so uncomfortable as a BM if I had to slow dance with some guy I'd never met while H watched.

  The last wedding I was in, we had a birdal dance... and although it wasn't too awkward since we all of us bridemaids semi-knew the groomsmen, we made the best of it.  But I can see it being weird if you had never met the person that you walked down the aisle with.  I know that at the time, the guy I was dating was my date for the weddding and I don't think he was too thrilled that I was dancing with someone he didn't know... but nothing I could do. I am debating having this, or just making it an uptempo song so that everyone can just jam out instead of slow-dancing. And then maybe half-way through it, inviting others to join.

  i agree with the other girls too! i would encourage the groomsmen to ask the bridesmaids to dance, esp. the ones who are not with dates. but having everyone watching is really embarassing!!

  Bad news bears.  I was forced to partake in one of these last summer.  I still get goosebumps thinking about how awkward and annoying it was.
  
  We did however make the best of it I think.  We did the holy ghost dance (you know, straight arms, no touching room for the holy ghost 8th grade style) and obviously didn't look eachother in the eye as a joke (every couple did it... all 9 of them).  I think it kind of bothered the bride but it made it more bearable.  Hehe.
