Wedding Music idea,guest gifts...what do u think?

[lauralu]

So I am driving my daughter to school today and I am thinking about when I need to send out my save the dates. We are getting married June 14th 2009. As well as thinking about the wording I will be useing for an idea we have. Which is, we would like everyone to send us their top 3 or 5 favorite songs. Our wedding is going to be small with mostly family members.

We are having a morning ceremony 11:00 ish...at a large english tutor style mansion. We are having a DJ help us with music. There is this huge great room with a smooth stone floor and high ceilings perfect for dancing on. We are planning on having an hour and a half of music and dancing after eating. We thought it would be awesome to have all family members give us their top 5 songs and we would play them for them to dance to. Making everyone, even grandma and grandpa who like swing music and the old big band style music would dance and have fun.

So as I was thinking about this I thought........maybe it would be cool to burn a CD for each couple of their favorite songs to take with them when they leave. I would combine the whole families songs on one CD. SO that mothers and fathers and their kids picks were all on one CD. Alot of my older brothers and sister have married kids. Might be fun for them to all have copies of their favorite music all on one CD?

What do you think?

I think it is a fabulous idea that people will have a lot of fun with.

I''d like to offer an alternative suggestion for anyone that is having an extremely small wedding like mine. We are finding out the "first dance" of each of the married couples that is attending our wedding. (This wouldn''t work for everyone, but we have virtually all married couples attending ours. The one unmarried couple we are using "their song.") Then we are burning a CD with all of the couple''s wedding songs on it and giving them out as favors.

That''s such a cute idea! And totally personal to the guest, so more likelihood of them keeping the favor! I''m sure everyone will like it. You can even use the CDs as escort cards since it''s particular to a family!!! And you can put a custom CD label on it! AW so cute!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea!!
