Reception Intro Song - need ideas!

[hoofbeats95]

I'm looking for a song to walk into our reception to.

We want something fun and upbeat. The boys are going to be wearing fun black hot tops with sparkles on them! (Think halloween type hat - that's when we bought them). The girls will have pink feather boas. I am not finding that right song. All ideas are welcome!

I think we're using "Say Hey" by Michael Franti

Friends of mine used "Love Story" by Taylor Swift

What about "Hey Soul Sister" by Train? Or something classic like a hair band? Maybe some Elton John with the Sparkles and boas?

Frank Sinatra came to mind with your description.

The Best is Yet to Come
Come Fly With Me
Fly Me to the Moon


He's got lots more but these are the one's that came to mind.

We did I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas and everyone was up and dancing in seconds!

OMG yes! I have no idea what happened. I wasn't on a phone so I can't say it was auto correct! Wow. That was my frazzled bride brain. The only excuse I have. I sure did laugh so hard just now though picturing "hot tops"!!! LOL

We entered to the song(chorus) "Beautiful Day" by U2.

We saved the real upbeat dance songs, like "I've got a feeling", for the actual dance part of the reception.

December, 1963 (Oh What A Night) is a fun one..

OU, you know I love you, girl, but that has got to be the funniest mental image ever. A bride walking in to a song about losing your virginity would be kind of hilarious. What a message to send!

 

[slg47]

we are planning on doing you dropped a bomb on me by the gap band. they play this song when the Giants score a home run

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

We walked in to "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen. I have kind of a strange sense of humor, I guess. I didn't wear a garter and didn't do a bouquet toss, but that song would work for either of those, too.

We used "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness.

Good luck!

OMG...LOVE this suggestion! HOW could I forget this song!?!?

I think we're gonna have different songs for the groomsmen and bridesmaids...I might just have to use this for my bridesmaids, since my BFF and I use to BLAST that song in our college dorm room.

I'm not sure what category song, but something upbeat. Maybe funky. I don't know yet! I figure when I hear it I'll know it?! Lol I have to look up some of the suggestion as I'm not familiar with them. Or maybe I am but don't recognize the names.
