LET’S GET DUNCIN’ šŸ’ƒšŸŖ©

Alright babes — the vows are said, the cake’s been cut, the speeches are done (cue the emotional damage 🄹)…
Now it’s time to KICK OFF THE DANCINGGGG šŸ•ŗšŸ’ƒIf you’re dreaming of a dance floor that’s bursting at the seams with sweaty hugs, sing-alongs, and your gran two-stepping to BeyoncĆ© — I got you.
Here’s how to make your dance floor the kind that lives rent-free in your guests’ heads for years.

šŸŽ¶ 1. It Starts With THE TUNES

Think of your first few songs post–first dance as your dance floor bait šŸŽ£
Get those bangers queued up! Like:

  • Certified crowd-pleasers: ABBA, Lizzo, Queen, Usher – you get the vibe.
  • Your niche faves: Indie, emo throwbacks, 00s R&B… go wild, but make sure there’s something for everyone to get the party rolling.
  • No skips allowed: This is not the time for slow, moody tracks unless you want folks migrating to the bar šŸ™…ā€ā™€ļø

šŸ’”Pro tip: Create a ā€œDO PLAYā€ and a ā€œDO NOT TOUCH THIS WITH A TEN-FOOT POLEā€ list for your DJ/band. Your ears (and guests) will thank you later.

🫶 2. Don’t Forget Your Dancefloor Day-Ones

After your first dance, it’s super easy to get swept into the party vortex with your pals (understandable, bestie) — but make sure to grab a few spins on the floor with your newly minted spouse too!Same goes for your bridal party — these people helped you survive the wedding planning, so get in there and bust a move with them before your photo/video team dips. Those chaotic group dancing pics? ICONIC.

🪩 3. Confetti… But Make It Extra

Confetti isn’t just for the aisle, okay? If you wanna go full glam-pop moment —
šŸ‘‰ CONFETTI CANNONS AT THE END OF YOUR FIRST DANCE.

Ask your venue if it’s allowed (some say yes, some say absolutely not pls no glitter forever), and prep your DJ to drop that beat while the canons go boom.

✨Result: pure euphoric dance floor magic.✨

šŸ•ŗ 4. Lead the Charge, Baby!

Here’s a lil secret: if you’re on the dance floor, your guests will follow.

So if you’re hoping for a packed floor, don’t vanish off to the smoking area or sneak away for 40 mins after your first dance. Be the party you want to see in the world ✨

Also, consider asking your bridal party to be ā€œdance captainsā€ — their mission? Keep the energy up and make sure no one’s dancing alone šŸ’ƒ

šŸ’” 5. Late Night Extras That Slap

Want to keep the energy lit all night long? Here’s how to level up your dance floor even more:

  • Props station: Glow sticks, heart sunnies, inflatable guitars… camp it UP.
  • Silent disco headphones (if your venue has a noise curfew): trust me, it turns into a full rave in your ears.
  • Shots round: Literally nothing unites a crowd more than someone yelling ā€œTEQUILA!!!ā€

Late night snacks: Chips and dips? Pizza boxes? You will become LEGEND.

šŸ”„ 6. And Finally… Just Let Go

The best dance floors are the ones where everyone forgets what they look like. So rip off that tie, chuck those heels under the table, and SWEAT IT OUT.

Whether you’re voguing, twerking, or aggressively miming the lyrics to Mr. Brightside — your energy is the vibe. Own it.

(And yes, I’ll be there. Sweaty fringe, camera in hand, vibing along with you. Obviously.)
