Anniversary Dance
A sweet, optional tradition honoring long-married guests.
The anniversary dance is an optional tradition where married couples dance together and are gradually 'eliminated' by years married, ending with the longest-married couple honored last.
Tips for choosing:
- Entirely optional — a great fit when a lot of long-married couples (like grandparents) are on your guest list.
- Pick a broadly loved classic since a wide range of ages will be dancing.
- Let your DJ/MC guide the elimination with warmth, not a rush.
- Consider asking the final couple standing to share brief advice for the newlyweds.
