Hi Kevin, what resources do you send to your wedding couples when they request first dance ideas, songs for parents, etc?

[@SmilestonesDJAdventures]

Hey! Almost all of my couples have their first dance song already decided, and most have parent dances selected. If they ask me for help, I review with them (or send them) a list of my song ideas crate for whatever they are looking for example Father Daughter dance, grand entrance / introduction, etc. before I had these song ideas crates I used to show / send them screenshots from the “Fun Wedding” app (check it out if you don’t know about it). An idea I had but haven’t executed yet is to make my song idea crates into Spotify playlists and then I could send these or even put links on my website. Just a few thoughts Jim!

Double shot board. lol I have mixed feelings on the glow stcks. Seem to fit in at this event.

Yeah the shot board was cool! What’s your thoughts on the foam batons?

[@stayhappy9893]

@@SmilestonesDJAdventures Never used them myself, but definitely have/will consider. I was hoping to hear yours and others thoughts. :)

@@stayhappy9893 ah cool! I would say that they *always* pick the party up a notch. I have used them in weddings, school events, parties etc and they have always worked well- peoples’ faces light up when I bring them out. I charge a small fee to have them as an add on for the event. I think it’s key to “give them out” and not to expect them to be returned. Think of them as single use event expense items .
