Anniversary Dance Song Ideas
So, what is an Anniversary Dance? It is a time to celebrate the married couples at your wedding. There are a couple of ways to do this and we are fine with either:
The Normal Way: We will call all married couples out to the dance floor. Then, one by one, we will ask those couples who have been married today, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, etc. to leave the dance floor. One by one, couples will sit down until the couple that has been married the longest remains on the dance floor. We will then recognize the couple that has been married the longest. We can even ask them for a piece of advice for you - the couple that has been married the least amount of time. Some couples even give their bouquet, toss bouquet, or a centerpiece to the winning couple, This is a fun tradition and special way to share your day with someone who means a lot to you.
The Sound Wave Way: We sometimes do the anniversary dance....opposite! Here is how it works:
First, we start a song and invite the bride and groom out onto the dance floor and recognize them as the couple that has been married the least amount of time. From there we slowly invite couples out onto the dance floor as they have been married 1 year or less, 5 years or less, 10, 25, 30, etc. until we have all of the married couples out on the dance floor. When the song is over, we will sometimes recognize the couple who has been married the longest and ask them for a piece of advice for you - the couple (you) who was married today. From there we will play a fun and upbeat song that everyone across the generations will enjoy - and keep them dancing!
So why do we do this in reverse of the traditional anniversary dance? First, we want to get folks onto the dance floor - not take them off! And sometimes, those couples that have been married the longest may not be able to dance for a full 4 minutes because of age, health, etc.
