Songs NOT to Play at Weddings

These are a listing of songs not to play at weddings. We giving you something to think about when selecting songs for your wedding.

Do not play music with explicit lyrics. Do not play songs that reference death. Do not play songs that reference suicide. Classical background music would not be appropriate for a country theme reception. Do not play music that is suggestive or offensive. Songs to add to a do not play list at a wedding reception may include songs that refer to the stressful wedding planning process. Please add stalking songs to your do not play list. You must consider if you would like songs played that have an extended playing time. Please consider adding songs to your do not play list that are just plain in bad taste.

You must decide if both of you would like group dances to be played at your reception. Some people do not like such dances as they consider them goofy and/or well overplayed at wedding receptions.

Many people feel the money/dollar dance is inappropriate at a wedding reception. The reasoning is because guests are expected to bring a present and to ask for more money in the dollar dance is greedy. However, others feel it is a great way to have multiple one on one conversions with many guests.
