Good friends, great food, fantastic entertainment… but a reception would not be a reception without a music playlist that relates to your guests. One idea was to include a song request on your guest’s RSVP card. When guests hear their song they really do connect. Some get up and dance, some sit proudly (that’s my song) and some bravely sing along.
This is the list of songs that our guests wanted to hear. I give you fair warning… the list is kinda eccentric. We have everything from opera, country, pop, jazz and love ballads. So there is something for everyone the cultured, the divas, the dancers and the party animals.
