After my future husband and I have our first dance, is the bridal party required to dance with each other or with the guests?Also,does anyone have any creative ideas that incorporate the bridal party dancing? I don't want it to seem as though I'm putting on a broadway production yet, I want to do something nice.

It is not required that you have a bridal party dance. We had the bride/groom, father/daughter, mother/son dances. We opted to not have the BP dance b/c most of the BP had a SO that was not in the BP. It would've been weird for them to dance with other people... plus my BIL is 13... he didn't want to have to dance and I didn't want to make him.

Depending on what your first dance is if you want your BP to dance you could have them join in like half way through the dance. This is what my hubby and I did. Our song was like 5 mins and we did not want the spot light on us that entire time. But I agree with Margie that you are not "required" to have a specific BP dance.
We did the same when we had the father/daughter and mother/son dances. After the songs began for a little bit we invited fathers/daughters and mothers/sons to come join the dance floor me and my dad or my hubby and his mother. It worked out very nice for us. We got some great photos of the parents dancing with their kids (old and young.

We're not having a BP dance... most are married to each other (the two best men's wives happen to be my BM's), but my MOH and one GM have SO's outside the BP, and the other GM's going stag, so making them dance would be awkward. Also, I don't want to share our first dance song, and I also don't want to make my guests sit through yet another dance.

We're not having a BP dance. I always found it awkward when I've been in weddings having to dance with some random guy!

You don't HAVE to do anything you don't feel comfortable doing. Quite often it's just the birde and groom, sometimes with the BP joining part way and the parents part way. Or Bride and Groom one song, BP one song, Parents one song. It's totally up to you! My daughter is doing the long drawn out way (B&G, BP & Parents) Personally I find that long, but it's up to her!

We had a bridal party dance after our first dance, but we had the bridal party members dance with their spouses/SOs. We didn't make them dance with each other (except for the fact that two of the women in our party were married to two of the men in our party).
