HOW TO CHOOSE FATHER/DAUGHTER SONG

Visit Memory Lane

Start by diving into the musical memories you share with your dad. Perhaps there was that one song he always blasted during car rides, or the track he embarrassingly (but endearingly) sang at the top of his lungs during your family karaoke nights. Whether it’s a rock classic or a country ballad, finding a song that has personal meaning can add an extra layer of sentimentality to your dance..

Do the Tempo Test

Unless your father is a retired “Dancing with the Stars” contestant, you might want to opt for a song that doesn’t require a masterclass in rhythm. A song that’s too fast could turn your special moment into a breathless workout session. Conversely, a tune that’s too slow might have your guests checking their watches. Find that sweet spot in the tempo that allows for comfortable swaying and maybe a twirl or two—without causing any pulled muscles.

Dad’s Input Matters

It might be tempting to surprise him with your song choice, but this is as much his moment as it is yours. Getting his input can make the decision easier and ensure there are no awkward surprises on the day. Plus, it’s a great bonding opportunity and a way to make sure the song resonates with him, too.

Beware of Tearjerkers!

You’re aiming for sweet and sentimental, not a full-blown tear-fest. Unless you want your makeup artist on standby for touch-ups, consider picking a song that’s touching but not overwhelmingly emotional. You want to see smiles on your guests’ faces, not have them sobbing into their dinner napkins..
