    hey guys... I know its early but to save a major job and headache we are starting a very very rough play list for the time in between the band not playing. Were going to leave it to them but theres too many favourites that we know go down well for the band to faff about with. Can you think of any really good party favourites that will go down a treat?

    We are asking for two song suggestions on the RSVP card;

    A 'love' song that you love _________________________________ and
    A song to get you dancing _________________________________

    The love song is to be played during the wedding breakfast and the other is to get the party started! I hope it will give people something to talk about during the meal and will guarantee at least one person dancing at any one time lol!

    Cheers MB! I nicked from on here or a wedding magazine. Thought it would be nice for people to suggest songs and then not all the pressure of choosing the music would be on me (as I would forget some of the classics!).

    Ok I have these between 7pm and 8pm. First dance at 8 so just to be played as people enter and get settled. I have loads more 60s and 70s but they are more lively so are going in the main body of the evening as these are ones people will want to dance to. What do you think of these? We figured have the more romantic songs playing now rather than later as these arent really dancy songs but will be appreciated by older guests? Or have we got it wrong? Remember, this is just for the first hour

    Nat king cole - LOVE - NEED TO FIND
    etta james - at last - is there beyonces version? Sounds better - NEED TO FIND
    Muse - your just too good to be true - NEED TO FIND
    I cant help falling in love with you - UB40
    be my baby - the ronettes
    Bruce Channel - Hey baby
    My girl - the temptations - NEED TO FIND
    Frank sinatra -I wont dance - need to add to playlist.
    Taylor james - How sweet it is to be loved by you? NEED TO FIND.
    Carl Carlton - Everlasting love - NEED TO FIND
    Cher - its in his kiss NEED TO FIND
    Elton John -Are you ready for love -NEED TO FIND THIS.
