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.

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 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.

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!
