These usually follow the cake cutting/after dinner, and serve as the best transition from dinner to dancing.  These songs may be shortened as well, depending on the dancing prowess of the bride, groom, and parents. If you’re having a hard time choosing two separate songs, consider incorporating both the bride/father and groom/mother dances during the same song. This will provide enough time for the photographer to take pictures of each couple.  A couple minutes into the song, we can invite all guests to join in (optional), which leads nicely into dancing.
