I had a good idea for favors, but definitely thought they would be more trouble than they're worth. Like a $5 favor could cost you $500 and then the guests get what, a $5 favor?

Though I do use the three beer bottle openers from a wedding at a brewery.

My beer-loving friends who got married at a summer camp gave us little flashlights and beer cozies, but I have long since lost both. They were great at the time!

$5 of chocolate is still chocolate! t /one-track mind

I am currently assembling the dance party playlist and wondering if "It's Raining Men" is too ridiculous. (Or too gay. I'm already putting "Born This Way" and "We Are Family" on it, and that's heading down a rainbow path. Which is fine, because some of our friends, who are queer, are going to be at the wedding. But is "It's Raining Men" a bridge too far? More importantly, do I care? And I kind of think the answer is no.)

I'm currently loading it up with Jackson 5 and Elvis (Presley, not Costello). It ain't a Lang wedding without Elvis.

I cannot for the life of me come up with a song to dance with my dad to. He told me to pick it, and nothing is sounding right. *Possibly* "You've Got a Friend In Me" (yes, from Toy Story), but it's a little weird, rhythm-wise, and neither of us are good dancers.

I'm pretty sure everyone would run out to the dance floor for "It's Raining Men." At least, all the women my age.

And if you're not dancers, you can stand and sway to anything, really, no?

I know. I'm just being weird about song content. So many slow songs are uber-romantic, and I'm not down for that for a father-daughter dance.

(I texted my brother to ask him what Rolling Stones songs to put on the playlist, and he replied "Cocksucker Blues." He's so predictable.)

I vote YES to "It's Raining Men," for sure.

For some reason, in my circle of friends, we all had "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and the dance floor split into guys/girls singing it to each other. Is that a thing? Or was it just something we did?

Oh, "Rip This Joint" for Stones!

The song is fucking fun. And it is an invitation to have a motherfuckin' walk off!

Now is when I wish we could use gifs here. [link]

Oh, absolutely. I'm just saying, if you like the song, don't worry as much about the rhythm.

Yes! YES!!!
