What is a Good Song For The Brother and Sister Dance at A Wedding Reception?

Choosing the right song for your brother/sister dance can be tough. Here are some things to consider:

What kind of song do you want to dance to? Slow, fast or somewhere in between?
Do you want it to be romantic or funny?
Who do you want to hear it with? Would your parents like this song too?

There are so many different types of dances out there. Some people like slow songs, some people like fast ones. If you’re not sure what kind of song you want, it might be helpful to think about what kinds of dances you enjoy doing with your siblings when no one else is looking (or even when they are).

You can simply pick one of the songs from our list below (there are so many great choices).

You can also pick songs that bring back great memories (from your childhood or even your relationship as you both grew older). It could be a song from a movie you watched 100 times together or even music from the decade that you were in school together.

How do I Include My Sister or Brother In My Wedding?

When you’re planning your wedding, it’s important to remember that your brother or sister is part of the family. They’ve been a big part of your life and they deserve to be included in your special day. Here are some ideas:

Do a special dance with them at the reception to a song of your choice.
Invite them to be a bridesmaid, groomsman, maid of honor, or best man.
Have them give a toast during the reception.
Ask them to be a reader at the ceremony.
Allow them to get ready with you and your wedding party.
Create fun shirts with labels such as “best-bro” or “sis-of-honor”.
Present them with a meaningful gift.
Let them walk you down the aisle.
Have them give a speech during dinner or dessert time; give them something meaningful that you want everyone else there at that point in time hearing about from their perspective.
Let them sing or play music at some point during dinner or dessert time so that everyone has an opportunity for entertainment without feeling rushed into making small talk when eating at their tables with strangers who don’t know each other very well yet! This could be something like singing “Happy Birthday” as loudly as possible while clapping along really fast (so go ahead and turn up those speakers if necessary) before going back over everything else again more quietly–or even better yet…maybe just have someone else do all this while they sit back down again!”
