1.3.23

When choosing the list of songs for your big day, it means that you’ve handled all of the major planning parts and you’ve come to the creating the fun details for your wedding. While this is your day, and you may have a lot of favorite songs, you should be cautious with your choices because some are simply unsuitable for such an occasion. So, let us help you make your list and avoid all those “do not play” wedding songs!

What some “do not play” wedding songs for your special day?

Well, when creating your wedding day playlist, you should consider that quite a few of the songs that might come to your mind are considered breakup or cliché style tracks. Some of them are even wildly overplayed tunes. Therefore, let’s see which wedding songs to avoid while celebrating you and your fiancé’s love story. 

Overplayed Wedding Tunes:

Songs that people have listened to over and over again on repeat tend to be mood breakers. These do not play wedding songs can easily ruin the overall vibe of the crowd, so it’s better to avoid them if you want to keep your guests happy. Some of these include:

  1. Jason Mraz -I’m Yours
  2. Gloria Estefan – Conga
  3. Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You 
  4. Tina Turner – Simply The Best 
  5. Celine Dion -My Heart Will Go On 

Cliché Dance Songs:

There are a lot of songs that people expect because they are dancy and upbeat. However, the dancy features do not mean that your guests enjoy them. So, make sure that you don’t include these tracks on your playlist:

  1. Sister Sledge – We Are Family
  2. Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby 
  3. Psy – Gangnam Style  
  4. Los Del Rio – Macarena 
  5. Chicken Dance 

Breakup/Inappropriate Wedding Songs:

It goes without saying that breakup songs are completely inappropriate for any wedding day. They usually tend to be sad, and their lyrics match neither the setting of your wedding nor the atmosphere. Examples of such ones are:

  1. U2 – Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For 
  2. George Strait – All My Ex’s Live in Texas
  3. Greg Kihn Band – The Breakup Song 
  4. Jimmy Soul – If You Want to Be Happy
  5. Phil Collins – Easy Lover

Choosing the best songs for your big day might be challenging, but remember, you have a plethora of options out there to choose from. Just be sure that the do not play wedding songs we mentioned are not on your list, and you will be on the right track to creating the perfect list for your special day.
