We're not dancers and didn't want to hire a DJ or band and plan on making a playlist for background noise.

Any tips on making an enjoyable playlist?

    I did a post about this a while ago titled “music idea playlist”. I found songs from each decade reaching back from the 50’s all the way up to current. I also gave each song a number to what I felt would fit into which area: cocktail hour, dinner, dance floor opens (all ages still present) and late night dancing (more club like songs that I don’t think grandma would appreciate :b)

    We're putting a line on our RSVPs asking for song requests, plus we will add our favorites and songs we know are crowd pleasers.


    Spotify has some premade playlists that you could use or borrow songs from. It's nice to use them as a jumping off point.

    I was initially worried about trying to use Spotify but I feel better knowing people have used it successfully!
    Thanks for your input!

    Awesome!
    I've started scanning Spotify for ideas!
    I'm also having my sister on music duty to help make any transitions and volume adjustments for the evening.

    I've made my playlist on Spotify. The things you should keep in mind is your audience and the time in the evening. Typically you'll want the "oldies" or typical wedding crowd pleasers to play earlier in the night since that's when the elder crowd will still be there. Then you can transition to a more club or modern vibe of music as the evening progresses.
    I was also very careful with how I transitioned from fast to slow and back to fast songs, which are called valleys. So you don't want a super fast song to go right to a slow one, instead have an in between paced song.
    But if you don't want to start from scratch, like Shannon said, Spotify has some playlists that you can just play, or you can take certain songs from each and make your own. Whatever you like!We're also having a "song request" space on our RSVPs so that guests can get excited when their requested song comes on, so I made sure to leave some room for those too.

    Hi Shanabri,


    Spotify has many wedding playlist already create that you can use. Also you could create you own playlist on Spotify. There are many couples that use Spotify and things turned out well.
