Hey, DJ, Play That Song

With just three months left until the wedding, we have our DJ planning meeting coming up this weekend!  As a result, we've been working on selecting our special songs (our dance, cake cutting songs, etc.) and building our do-not-play list.  One thing we're short on, though, are songs on the play list!

Overall, we would like prime country love songs, old rock and roll songs, and top 40 pop songs, but more than anything we just want people to be able to dance and have a good time.  So, it stands to reason that said people should help choose some songs for our play list.

There are a few common ways to ask guests for their song requests.  First is the RSVP card.  Our RSVP card had an option for the line, "I promise to dance if you play:" but we opted for the "leave us a note" version.  Second is the wedding website.  I learned how to develop a Google survey earlier this year, which populates a spreadsheet of answers.  Lance really liked that option, but I don't know how many people will visit our website.  I really hope they will, but some of the locals might not think there is anything pertinent to them on there.  Finally, there are reception cards.  I like the idea of people being able to fill out and drop cards off with the DJ in the moment, and there are a lot of cute printout options out there.  On the other hand, they are another detail to keep track of, poor use of a lot of paper, and potential clutter.  What do you think?  Website or print-outs?  Maybe the DJ will have an opinion.  :)
