At weddings do the bridesmaids have 2 dance???

Question

I was just wondering because I'm gonna be a bridesmaid in December and I have heard a lot of things like that the bridesmaids have to dance. I wasn't really sure because I am only 13 and this is my first time being a bridesmaid, I have been a flower girl when I was youner but never a bridesmaid. Thanks!!!

Answer 1

You are in the wedding to show your support and love for the couple getting married.  As part of that, you want to participate in the ceremony and celebration that is their big day.  You will draw more attention to yourself by being the bridesmaid sitting on the sidelines (remember, they can identify you by the dress) than any dance you might do.  Can you find someone to dance with you that you feel comfortable with?  How about your Dad, or an Uncle or Cousin.

Answer 2

It would be nice if you could but if you feel akward talk to the bride im sure you wont have to if you dont feel like it.But you probably will enjoy it if you do dont worry about it

Answer 3

ask the bride what she thinks, sometimes the bridesmaids and groomsmen will all get up and dance along side of the bride and grooms when they have their first dance, just have a blast !!

Answer 4

i think u have to. because i you don';t want to dance and the rest do. How will that guy feel if he just stands there. That will be more awkward.  my wedding is in sept and i keep telling my bridesmaids they will dace with the guy they walk down the isle with. its not a big thing u may be shy but everyone probebly feels that way. no worries!

Answer 5

mostly , the bridal is the point of that day ,

so if you are asked to dance , maybe u should do

Answer 6

It depends on how the bride and groom are planning things. Some couples decide that they want to have their first dance and then at a specified time their parents get up and join them, and then the bridesmaids and groomsmen join them, followed by other guests.

Others don't do this at all. I've only seen it once and that was awhile ago. Most couples are opting for less structure nowadays.

I'd talk to the bride and mention your concerns. Unless she's REALLY set on the idea, she'll probably be fine with dropping that part of the reception -- if she was even thinking about doing it in the first place.

Answer 7

no, no one is required to dance.
