"One of the weddings bloggers I follow on Twitter shared some insanely important advice in 140 characters or less last week.\nPinterestFacebookSince we&amp;#39;re not sure how to dance to &amp;quot;Yellow Submarine,&amp;quot; we&amp;#39;ll just pose for some awkward photos while it&amp;#39;s playing ...&amp;quot;\n@kisswedding Tip: When choosing songs for your wedding reception make sure they&amp;#39;re either fast songs or slow songs. The in-betweens don&amp;#39;t work as well.\nI know this doesn&amp;#39;t seem super-important at face value, but hear me out.\nIf you let your wedding band or DJ play whatever they want, they&amp;#39;ll (hopefully!) have this covered. They want your wedding guests to dance and have fun, and they know the songs that will get people on the dance floor.\nBut if you&amp;#39;re, say, a huge Beatles fan, you might want to ask them to play your favorite Beatles hits. (You want your wedding to be about YOU, of course!) That said, while the Beatles made great music, they didn&amp;#39;t necessarily make great wedding music. I was at a wedding once where the band only played the bride&amp;#39;s favorite Beatles songs for an hour, and it was awkward. We wanted to dance, but how do you move to &amp;quot;Blackbird, &amp;quot;All You Need Is Love,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Here Comes the Sun&amp;quot;? Answer: You don&amp;#39;t. You refresh your drink during these songs and hope that the beat picks up (or slows down) by the time you get back to the dance floor.\nIf you want to your band or DJ to play your favorite songs, ask yourself if your guests will be able to dance to them. If the songs are un-danceable, you don&amp;#39;t have to cut them from your playlist! Just make sure they&amp;#39;re played during cocktail hour or at the beginning of dinner, when your guests won&amp;#39;t be on the dance floor anyway.\nHave you been at a wedding where the music was un-danceable? Are you worried about whether people will dance at your wedding?\nI totally was! I wanted a dance party!\nMore miscellaneous wedding stuff:\n\nFeeling Lonely? You Could Always Marry Your Pillow.

Am I Obligated to Attend This Wedding?&amp;quot;\n\n\nBridesmaid Gripe: Please Don&amp;#39;t Make Us Wear Matchy-Matchy Hair!\n\nPhoto: Flicker/vintagemable"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
