Compared to ten years ago, those who are planning to DIY their music for the reception may find this project an interesting and fun activity just like finding their bridesmaid jewelry set for their. Ten years ago, creating this DIY project may be found challenging since there is no iPod at weddings during those days.

These days, it is even normal to find couples doing their own list of songs on their iPod and just selecting to whether just let a friend play their list or still consider on having a DJ for their wedding. It is really easy to create your list of songs using your iPod since it will just require you to make your own list of songs that will be used for the wedding.

When you do your own list of songs, you should also create songs that will reflect the theme of the wedding and the type of guests you will have for the event. When making your song list, first choose from your favorite ones. You can also create your love story on your list if you want to. You should have your list of love songs that should be played as guests comes to the reception hall, list of songs that should be played as guests eat their dinner, a bit of background music as the wedding toasts are being done, and party dance so your guests can dance all night.

If you are going to have a DJ to control the songs of your wedding, you will also need to talk with him about your song list and the songs you do not want for him to play. If you do not discuss certain things with your DJ, he may think that it is alright to play any type of songs. You should also discuss your song choices and certain songs that he can also add in if there is a need for him to put some songs in.

However, if you choose not to hire a DJ and just want a friend or one of the groomsmen to control your song list, better make sure that no one will have access with your song choices and the only one you asked to control should take charge. This is necessary since you do not want anyone messing around with your song list. Just make sure that your groom gives him his groomsmen gifts before or after the wedding.
