Let’s get back to the party!
This is one of my favorite photos—how adorable is my little sister??
Want to know what she is watching?
She’s enjoying the slow dancing! We had exactly two slow songs.
During both of the songs, we started with our own parents, and then found each other, and invited all of our guests to the dance floor.

Friends – this also happens to be one of my favorite photos – how sweet is this picture! They are also getting married this May 
I’m pretty sure I’m telling my dad here that this is my shower song…
My dad and his new dancing partner
Probably laughing that we’re dancing to my shower song in front of 300 people…
Enjoying the moment!
Hermit Crab wedding tip #23: We wanted to keep the energy high, but including a few slower dances gave us the opportunity to have a quiet moment with our parents and with each other in the midst of all the high-energy craziness, as well as share one of our favorite songs with all of our guests! And I don’t feel like it changed the spirit of the party at all.

Can’t get over how stunning your sis and bro-in-law look!! Love their sleeves, love the color!
Love these photos! Looks like you guys had such an amazing time.
Can you let me in on your “shower song” so I can get a soundtrack to go along with the pictures?
@BadgerBride2011: Yes! And I can’t believe I forgot to add it to the post – I tried to add the song clip but I couldn’t do it…it’s a hebrew song called “Tov L’Hodot”!
Good idea on selecting a just few slow songs to keep the mood upbeat and moving.
Your sister is ADORBS!! I love all of the sweet pics of everyone slow dancing!
I love the slow dances, and it seems like everyone else did too! And it’s great that you got a shot of all the guests dancing, I will have to remember to try and do the same!
Your little sister’s excitement is so cute. 
Love that you had some slow songs weaved throughout!
I love the picture where you are kissing your dad’s cheek, it is so sweet!
Awww you are right – the photo of your friends is indeed SO SO sweet!
