We have had an invitation to a wedding evening reception in the summer. The couple to be married are in their 20's and the RSVP card to be returned says "I /We promise to dance if you play..................................." I'm interested to know how you would all fill in the blank?!

We had same request it's just to get the music right and the dance floor filled don't worry just enjoy the day!

Wham, Wake me up before you go go, always fills the dance floor.

Jalima Sun 22-Jan-17 10:58:42

We refused to go.
I wonder if you were missed?

Jalima Sun 22-Jan-17 11:00:33

We were asked for requests to be sent with our RSVP to a friend's DD's wedding.

There was a lovely range of music played from Sinatra, Bennett etc to more modern tunes.

I think it's a great idea - love all the suggestions so far! Saturday Night Fever for me

Pinkshoes26 I've never been to a wedding where you had to buy your own drinks shock

Lilyflower Sun 22-Jan-17 11:37:00

The Phil Collins' version of 'You Can't Hurry Love'. It's my DD's favourite and it got everyone on the floor at my sixtieth.

Whatever you think of go on Utube and you will see the song/music in action ie. Rock around the clock tonight, Gay Gordons etc. Then you can pick which one you feel fit to dance and put it on your reply.

Its a great idea. Have just had quite a party myself going though the options I can think of, and watching the dancing on the computer.

What a charming idea! much nicer than "please send money for our honeymoon in the Bahamas..." grin

marionk Sun 22-Jan-17 12:10:38

The Macarena, Simply the Best, lots of Abba, Brown Sugar and Annie's Song for a waltz

marionk Sun 22-Jan-17 12:11:33

Oh and after a few tipples YMCA of course and maybe, just maybe Cha Cha Slide

Build me up Buttercup,. Dancing Queen, I Will Survive and Satisfaction
That'd be me finished for the evening - but I'd have had a wonderful time... smile

Some great ideas here. I wish I had a wedding to go to so I could treat myself to a new dress and have a little bop!

VIOLETTE Sun 22-Jan-17 14:42:19

Mamma mia and anything from Abba ...great idea ! my daughter's then boyfriend used to run a disco for weddings when at Uni ...great money sense ! He made 400 pounds a time ...when my dad died and left hundreds of CDs and old records, the boyfriend pounced on them as he said he was always being asked to play the oldies at weddings or golden weddings etc and didn't have many ..only the latest music ! I also like a few of the oldies ! (my 'oldies' would be the Rolling Stones though !)

Kim19 Sun 22-Jan-17 14:52:03

'In the mood'. (Joe Loss) please

Diddy1 Sun 22-Jan-17 15:14:05

What a lovely idea, then there is music for everyones taste, like another Gran said, I would chose The Gay Gordons, used to love that with all the twirling around, such fun.
Have a great time Ruthyo.

hazeljoy Sun 22-Jan-17 15:17:42

I knew the Bride When She Used to Rock and Roll. Can't remember who sings it. Nick somebody I think

Legs55 Sun 22-Jan-17 15:54:48

Lovely idea, I've never come across that but last Wedding I went to would be my DD 7 years ago. That was a very informal do in a Pub. Food provided by friends & family, buy your own drinks, no request for gifts but they received some lovely things.

I thought it was normal for you to buy your own drinks at an Evening do. I've been fortunate in that we've always been at the Wedding & meal after + Evening do (no free bar only wine with meal)

I would have to request "Crazy little thing called love" by Queen

joannewton46 Sun 22-Jan-17 16:04:58

Anything by Nat King Cole - smoochy end the evening stuff! Or Satisfaction by the Stones.
Ah! the days of our youth...

Wake me up before you go go, Wham and Fleetwood Mac. We have been invited to a young couples evenig do this spring, a small family wedding with a party 4pm onwards .with a buffet and plenty of dancing, we are not related in anyway but have a common interest. If we want to give a present then money is much appreciated and we are happy with this as its what we do in Asia. Problem is we don't know what the going rate is in this country, any ideas?

Theoddbird Sun 22-Jan-17 18:34:13

A long list for me as I love dancing. What an absolutely brilliant idea smile

Anya Sun 22-Jan-17 19:10:57
