Things You'll Need:
- Wedding coordinator
- Fiancee
- Deejay
- Internet access
-
Step 1
Begin early. Before you even hire a deejay, it's a great idea to have your song list prepped. That way, you'll know which vendor to go with once you begin your search. Not every vendor will have Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" in their music collection.
-
Step 2
Plan the timing of your reception. Keep a schedule of the bouquet toss, toasts, and introductions of the bridal party. That way, you'll know when you need certain songs to come on.
-
Step 3
Choose music that ignites your memory. If you recall when you met your fiancee for the first time and you can distinctly remember what song was playing in the background, this is a great wedding reception song.
-
Step 4
Pick songs that suit your personality. If you love hip-hop, it's okay to plug in a few of your favorite hits.
-
Step 5
Be original. Most wedding receptions include the electric slide and the macarena dance at some point. Be daring and skip the tradition altogether, using your own favorite songs.
-
Step 6
Ask your fiancee for a list of their favorite songs. Make a list of your own. Circle an equal number of songs from each list to play at your reception.
