OK people, why must the wedding playlist include some combination of Cotton Eyed Joe, the Cha Cha Slide, Chicken Dance and/or YMCA? Yeah, Yeah I know they’re all familiar and “catchy” and everybody, even the dog knows the lyrics, yada yada. I’m sorry, but it is now time to move on.
So here’s some help for you! Since I started designing these neat little CD sleeve wedding favors I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of fun couples from all over the US, UK, Australia and Ireland who all have had some fabulous tastes in music! Lucky for me, I now have a continual supply of kick a$$ playlists that I’m happy to share (and will continue to do so as the tunes filter in of course!)
