Wedding Day Playlists..

Dreamgirl08 · July 25, 2008

So I am now trying to put together Playlists for the Wedding Day, but I don't even know where to start. Can someone please give me the breakdown of how I should start. I need to know the basics like what is a recessional song, processional song..etc. Is anyone willing to share their ideas and/or program pics. I'd also like to create a CD with fun music for our guests that we can put in our OOT Bags. How can I go about dong this? Has anyone done this?

TIA,

FI and I both have ipods, and although we have some music interests in common we also have a lot of differences. What we did was we created a wedding playlist in itunes and went through all the songs he had. If we both liked the song then it got moved into the playlist. Then we did the same on mine. After we did our initial pick we created new playlists for pre-ceremony music, ceremony, and reception. Then we moved the songs from the original wedding playlist to their appropriate lists and narrowed them down further since we picked way too many songs initially. He had to move songs from ipod over to his since he didn't have them. We are going to create CDs as back up, but I'm also looking into DJs that can create a mix of our songs for the reception so there won't be breaks in between songs, and so we can fit in some more songs since some are long and we don't really need to play the whole thing. There might be an easier way, but this is what we did. I would also recommend making a back up playlist before you start narrowing down since FI accidentally deleted it and we had to do it over.
