Select Wedding Music and Involve Your Guests
When choosing wedding music, there are some obvious choices. But don't overlook the potential to get your guests involved in the event by providing the opportunity for them to help in the production of the wedding music. There are several options to accomplish this, including Karaoke.
There are some good online sources for Karaoke soundtracks that will make perfect wedding music. Anyone can hire a band, choose a DJ or have a series of preselected music played during the reception, but how much more fun to have your guests involved in both the selection of the music and the production!
You can find a wide selection of wedding music on Karaoke CD available at www.acekaraoke.com/wedding.html. Whether you're looking for the most romantic wedding music you can imagine, or you're looking for a bit of something silly, you'll find that there are Karaoke CDs that fit the bill. Maybe you want to find songs that are recommended for specific steps of the wedding event and have guests join in Karaoke versions of the song instead of playing the artist version? Looking for something from a particular culture? How about traditional Italian or Jewish wedding music?
If you have someone who can play an instrument, why not pick up sheet music for some popular wedding music. A "sing-a-long" may sound old fashioned, but what a lovely way to bring guests together.
There are some songs that make good additions to the wedding music play list, whether you're using Karaoke or not. Many people know "Dance to the Music" by Sly and the Family Stone, and "Friends In Low Places" By Garth Brooks. Get the kids involved with "Hokey Pokey" and the "Chicken Dance." You may be surprised at how many adults are ready to play along with these types of music games, even though this may be a less-than-traditional kind of wedding music.
Remember that there are some very traditional wedding music choices, but the wedding and reception are also a time to let your own personalities shine. If you love country or old-time rock, use songs from those genres as your wedding music. If there are some singers among the family and friends, take advantage of their talent. Wedding music is a good way to involve your guests in the event.
