LET’S GET DUNCIN’ ššŖ©
Alright babes ā the vows are said, the cakeās been cut, the speeches are done (cue the emotional damage š„¹)…
Now itās time to KICK OFF THE DANCINGGGG šŗšIf you’re dreaming of a dance floor thatās bursting at the seams with sweaty hugs, sing-alongs, and your gran two-stepping to BeyoncĆ© ā I got you.
Hereās how to make your dance floor the kind that lives rent-free in your guestsā heads for years.
š¶ 1. It Starts With THE TUNES
Think of your first few songs postāfirst dance as your dance floor bait š£
Get those bangers queued up! Like:
- Certified crowd-pleasers: ABBA, Lizzo, Queen, Usher ā you get the vibe.
- Your niche faves: Indie, emo throwbacks, 00s R&B⦠go wild, but make sure thereās 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 š āāļø
š”Pro tip: Create a āDO PLAYā and a āDO NOT TOUCH THIS WITH A TEN-FOOT POLEā list for your DJ/band. Your ears (and guests) will thank you later.
š«¶ 2. Donāt Forget Your Dancefloor Day-Ones
After your first dance, itās super easy to get swept into the party vortex with your pals (understandable, bestie) ā but make sure to grab a few spins on the floor with your newly minted spouse too!Same goes for your bridal party ā 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.
𪩠3. Confetti⦠But Make It Extra
Confetti isnāt just for the aisle, okay? If you wanna go full glam-pop moment ā
š CONFETTI CANNONS AT THE END OF YOUR FIRST DANCE.
Ask your venue if itās 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.
āØResult: pure euphoric dance floor magic.āØ
šŗ 4. Lead the Charge, Baby!
Hereās a lil secret: if youāre on the dance floor, your guests will follow.
So if youāre hoping for a packed floor, donāt 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 āØ
Also, consider asking your bridal party to be ādance captainsā ā their mission? Keep the energy up and make sure no oneās dancing alone š
š” 5. Late Night Extras That Slap
Want to keep the energy lit all night long? Hereās 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 āTEQUILA!!!ā
Late night snacks: Chips and dips? Pizza boxes? You will become LEGEND.
š„ 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 youāre voguing, twerking, or aggressively miming the lyrics to Mr. Brightside ā your energy is the vibe. Own it.
(And yes, Iāll be there. Sweaty fringe, camera in hand, vibing along with you. Obviously.)
