The 10 Most Unique Wedding Entrance Songs of All Time

For weddings, you just believe that the bride will be entering to the same, old, traditional, "Bridal March" or "Here Comes the Bride" song. For most couples that are planning their wedding, this is not a song they truly like, however wedding entrance songs are nearly never discussed. Many couples through the ages have done precisely the same thing. In today's weddings, the couples believe they are a unique couple and many of the younger generation want unique wedding entrance songs.

The 10 most unique wedding entrance songs are a matter of flavor, but most of them are still a bit on the conservative side, just more contemporary in fashion. For instance, "Love Train" by The O'Jays or "Celebration" by Kool and The Gang were well-known songs a couple decades ago and every generation knows them, so they would be among unique wedding songs.

They have lyrics and music that can get a crowd dancing, but it might shock grandma to see the bride coming down the aisle to this. Don't be surprised to see her clapping by the time you get to the altar, though. They can make a wedding fun, take the stress off and for the right couples, with outgoing personalities, they can make their wedding an pleasant and memorable event. Certainly, it will be unique, too.

"Heaven Must Have Sent You" by Bonnie Pointer or "I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You" by Savage Garden are a couple of amorous songs that make appropriate, yet special wedding songs, for instance. You have to think of personal taste and the guests, so most brides and grooms have older relatives to consider.

That's not to say that some don't pick something on the other extreme for unique entrance songs. Romantic songs that say how you feel about each other can make superb wedding entrance songs and some couples always refer to it as "our song". After all, it's a day of expressing your love to each other, even if the complete wedding guests doesn't necessarily see it the same way.

"St. Elmo's Fire" by John Parr or "2001 Space Odyssey Theme" by Richard Strauss are unique wedding entrance songs that are mainly effective for night-time, outdoor theme weddings, official contemporary weddings and you can use special effects, such as tiki torches or a disco ball to complete the theme. Picking great wedding songs are simpler, if you have a special theme to your wedding.

"It Had to Be You" by Harry Connick, Jr. or "The Best Is Yet to Come" by Frank Sinatra will be crowd pleasing, unique wedding entrance songs for all ages. The elderly relatives will in particular love them and for reflective weddings, they express romance, love and individuality.

Of course, for the most unique wedding entrance songs, "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osborne or "Tribal Dance" by 2 Unlimited fit the bill for some couples. These are not for everybody, but some of the younger hip-hop crowd, or the heavy metal rockers might enjoy wedding entrance songs like these, so don't be shocked if you know somebody that mentions them.

When it comes to wedding entrance songs, these ten most unique wedding songs are a example. It is pretty much dictated by the tune that most signifies the way you want your day to be remembered.

Wedding Gifts - Not Just for the Bride and Groom!

With most contemporary weddings there is a huge entourage of individuals who are extremely important to the success of the big day. Bearing this in mind, it seems only fitting that these people should be recognized for their time and effort with specifically chosen wedding gifts all of their own.

Who Should Receive Wedding Gifts?

The obvious answer is anyone who helps out to the extent that the bride and groom feel that they deserve special wedding gifts. Typical individuals who should be considered for such wedding gifts include bridesmaids, best men, ushers and the parents of the bride and groom.

Wedding gifts are also often given to the professionals that help make the day happen, such as your hairdresser or the wedding planner, although these gifts are more token gifts and can be as simple as a nice card or a small bouquet of flowers.

With larger weddings, it is also common practice to offer a small gift to every guest in the form of a favor, placed at each place setting. Due to the large quantity of these wedding gifts that you are required to purchase, they tend to be much smaller and cheaper such as sugared almonds or small chocolates.

Choosing Wedding Gifts

Of course, your choice of wedding gifts depends largely on the known likes and dislikes of the people whom you have invited to attend your wedding party. If you have a small number of people involved you may be able to purchase individually chosen, more expensive wedding gifts such as a special ornament or piece of jewelry. But remember that it is the thought which counts, and token wedding gifts such as cufflinks, teddy bears and mugs can be just as effective.

As part of the wedding speeches, bouquets of flowers are often given to the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom; this is particularly the case with more traditional wedding ceremonies.

A great cheap way to please the wedding party guests is to offer them pictures of the day as well as any attire that you have purchased especially for them. It is very difficult to think of anything else to do with the bridesmaid dresses and jewelry, so why not use them as unique wedding gifts?

By giving the critical members of the wedding party wedding gifts you will ensure that your important helpers feel that their efforts have been noticed and they will feel that they have truly been a vital part of your big day.

Giving wedding gifts to guests may seem a little odd, but why not share the good fortune of your day and spread a little happiness?
