Parent Dance Songs

I posted a blog a few months ago listing some of the most popular first dance songs at my past weddings, and I thought it would be fun to also list some of the top parent dance songs. These always tend to be tough choices for most couples because you want to make your moms and dads happy but you don’t want to be stuck swaying along to some horrible 5 minute tune. Maybe you and your ‘rents have a song already lined up, but if not maybe you could consider one of these little ditties:
