Request Play List

This is a copy of my Request Play List for wedding receptions. It is listed in the order of a "traditional" wedding reception, which can be altered in many ways. It just depends on your personal preferences.

You may not know about some of the items, so I will attempt to explain them here. If you have any questions, please contact me either by phone or email and I will be happy to explain the items in further detail.

• Kids' Toss - We added this item as a way to 1) help the children at your reception feel as though they are a part of the action and 2) to alleviate crowding when there are a lot of children.
  
  The basic idea is to separate the children (Usually under 12) out of the bouquet and garter tosses by giving them their own event. The young girls are called to the dance floor just like I would a regular bouquet toss, but instead of flowers, the Bride tosses a teddy bear or some other cute toy to the girls. The same is done for the boys, but usually with a Nerf football or something similar.
  
  
• Ice Breaker Dance - This is a way to get the party started. It is a popular song, such as YMCA or the Cha Cha Slide, that will get eveyone to the floor. This can be done with the whole crowd or with just the wedding party.
  
  
• Honeymoon War - This is just a twist to what we all know as the "dollar dance." Instead of doing it the regular way, it is announced that the Bride and Groom have agreed that the person who collects the most money will have the financial control for the rest of their lives together. It is a fun way to boost the participation in this event, and a great way to make some greatly needed extra cash for the honeymoon.
  
  
• Rose Dance - You've probably seen this one before, but again we have mixed it up a little. All of the married couples are asked to start dancing. After just a couple minutes, it is announced that anyone who has been married for less than one day should leave the dance floor. Then, we start to reduce the dancers by asking them to leave the dance floor based on the amount of time they have been married.
  
  At the end of it all, we find out who has been married the longest. Once we decide, the Bride offers a single rose (or any other flower) from the Bridal bouquet to the lady who has been married the longest as a symbol of respect. Remember, it's only a symbol if the flower actually comes from the Bridal bouquet.
