A list of 50 first dance song ideas. Finding the right song; Why are songs important? Some brides have been thinking about their wedding since they were little girls. Some couples remember every tiny detail, mark every significant date in their relationship, and share a whole playlist of songs that are meaningful to them. Other brides aren’t like that.

I remember how Matt and I met vividly. I could tell you the date, place and time. Just never thought to run to the calendar and mark the date. Matt and I remember experiences more than the little details.  I can’t tell you what we were wearing, or what song the band was playing.

If you’re like me,  that’s okay! You don’t have to remember every tiny detail or have “your song” before he even pops the question. The idea of finding “your song” for your first dance may seem daunting or even make you feel bad that you don’t already have a song that makes you and your fiancé think of each other every time you hear it. But it can be just as fun to spend time together listening to a bunch of songs to find a song you will both fall in love with. Some couples’ songs trigger a memory for them. But it can be just as special when you create a memory of choosing your song.

To give you a start in the memory making, I have compiled a list of 5o songs that would be great for a first dance.
