There are many important elements on your wedding day. You want it to be memorable and customized towards your style and taste. Your wedding dress, flowers, food, location and colors all tell the story of your day. This happens during your ceremony and reception. One thing that couples definitely research is their first dance songs. Wedding and Party Network has our top picks for first dance songs as well as a few tips.

A few tips on picking your first dance song: 

• Pick a song that you BOTH enjoy. Your first dance is a memorable moment, so make sure it's important to both of you.
• 

  Beautiful First Dance
  If your song is long, let your wedding dj know an appropriate time on when to fade the song out. Your favorite song could be 6 minutes. Do you want to dance for that long?
• Take dance lessons. Even if you aren't planning a breakout number, it's still a fun activity to do together before you get married.
• Practice. As corny as it may seem, practice to your song atleast once. Just take a spin around in your living room and make sure you can dance to it okay.
• When trying on your wedding dress, make sure it will be comfortable to dance in. Some dresses have different fits and it may be a bit harder to move in.
