Economic Wedding Ideas

Dancing is getting popular at weddings. Often, the father of the bride will dance with her and then we have the couple’s first dance. Anyone at the wedding can enjoy themselves fully.

Chicken Dance
Would you want to add some fun elements to the dance floor? Some activities are going to extremely popular. For those who prefer to have fun, you can try a game of the “chicken dance”. If you love to have some fun and laughter at your party, and want the dance floor to be filled, you may want to try this.

Put numbers under the chairs. Tell|Ask] your guests to look under their seats when the number is shouted out. Depending on your seating arrangement, you can choose to repeat the numbers at the same table, or at different tables. You can have various numbers from ‘1′ to ‘10′.

Before the number is announced, the guests would check under their seats to find out the numbers they had been assigned to. You can use masking tape or post-it notes for this. All the ‘5’s would have to go to the dance floor and do the chicken dance. This is helpful if you want your guests to mingle with more people apart from the group they have been sticking to. It is also good if you have a lot of guests who do not know each other.

Multiplication
A great way to start dancing is to get your wedding group to invite other guests onto the dance floor. After one round of dancing, each guest at the dance floor will invite another guest in to dance, untill everyone is dancing together.

Hire A Dance Teacher
Many brides and grooms learn how to dance so that they can show off their groovy moves. Hire a dance teacher to demonstrate some simple steps to the audience, and get them on their feet? Or if you have a close friend who is a professional dancer and willing to help you at your wedding, then ask him or her to do this.

One dance floor activity that’s gaining popularity is to bring in a dance teacher for the wedding reception. As a kind of pre-dance activity, the teacher will quickly walk people through their paces on the dance floor, perhaps teaching a bit of the waltz or, for something completely different, a little bit of the tango, before the music officially begins and dancing commences.

Having a dance teacher do a bit of teaching not only livens up the reception right from the start, but it gets people out on the dance floor who might otherwise be too self-conscious normally to get out there and let it all hang out. Your guests get to practise first and make all the mistakes before the official dance begins.

These ideas are quite affordable, so if you are on a tight wedding budget, then you can simply think of these ideas to get your guests onto the dance floor instead of hiring expensive bands or performers to liven up the mood.
