Reader Question: A Fun, Upbeat Song For A Family Sing-A-Long
Every now and then, I get an email from a reader who needs a little help (have you written to me?). I love these letters and try to help out when I can. Recently, Noa wrote to me asking for my assistance with a cool project for an upcoming wedding and I knew I could help! From Noa, “We have a family wedding (my husband’s niece) but our family is so spread across the world that it is hard for everyone to attend.

Music: iPod Playlist for a DJ-Less Wedding Reception
A reader on my Facebook page requested a post about song suggestions for an iPod playlist for a DJ-less wedding reception. She likes all kinds of music (Top 40 on the radio with a mix of some late ’90s and lots of classics) but her fiance has the complete opposite taste in music. They’d really just like a variety of songs that will make everyone happy (from 20 and 30 somethings to the older crowd, too). In my experience, a collection of songs from the ’80s/’90s along with some pop-style country and big hits from the ’50s/’60s are the best mix for a wedding reception. Here are my suggestions:
