10 Wedding Songs For Your Reception Playlist

We don't talk about it enough, but music is such an important factor at your big day — especially the wedding songs you play at your reception. Starting with the first dance and mother-son dance all the way up to the upbeat music you need to pack your dance floor, your wedding playlist should be a reflection of who you are as a couple. But most importantly, your wedding songs should appeal to your wedding guest. At the end of the day, you want everyone at your wedding to have a blast.

From classic tunes to new wedding songs, we reached out to our friends at Wedding Forward to give us the scoop on what should be included in your big day playlist. They shared with us some of their favorite ones, but I highly recommend you to hope over their New Wedding Songs for 2018 post to get many more options.

In this list, you can also find 2 songs I chose. Let see if you can guess which ones I picked!
