My Favorite Parent Dance Songs: Wedding Wednesday

October 18, 2023

I’m in so many facebook groups that are always looking for song suggestions and that led to my first post in this series regarding First Dance songs. Today, I am here with my favorite Parent Dance songs.

I’ve seen quite a lot of heartfelt Parent dances as a wedding photographer, but I’ve also seen less conventional Sibling dances for a myriad of reasons. For my Sister-in-Law’s wedding she danced with my husband, Ryan, because they were very close. For other weddings, the sibling took the place of a parent who couldn’t be there (for one reason or another). Some of these would make great sibling dance songs too if that is the route you are taking!!

In no particular order…

Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle (a true classic)
My Wish by Rascal Flatts
My Little Girl by Tim McGraw (my own father-daughter song!)
I Loved Her First by Heartland
Simple Man by Shinedown (I prefer this one to Lynyrd Skynyrd)
You’re My Best Friend by Queen
Daughters by John Mayer
Humble & Kind by Tim McGraw
You’ll Be in My Heart by Phil Collins (from Tarzan for all my Disney fans!)
In My Daughter’s Eyes by Martina McBride
What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
God Gave Me You Blake Shelton
Your Song by Elton John
Mama by Spice Girls
There You’ll Be by Faith Hill
Lean on Me by Bill Withers
You’re Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins
In My Life by the Beatles
Sweet Child O’ Mine by Paul Canning
Don’t You Worry Child by Madilyn Bailey

I hope you enjoyed this list of my 20 Favorite Parent (or Sibling) Dance Songs and be sure to let me know what other song lists you’d like to see in the future!!
