First dance - bride and groom then who joins in for the rest of the song? Is it best man and maid of honour? And who else dances with who?

Anyone who wants to join in... People should be able to dance with whoever they want to. If the best man has a girlfriend or maid of honour has a boyfriend then I think they should be able to have their first dance of the night with their own partners. First dances tend to be romantic, they should get to dance with their own partners for it, not paired up.

Anyone can join in, if the maid of honour and best man are both single then they could dance together if they wanted. Generally, (in my experience at other people's weddings) the bride and groom start, then their parents and other couples close to the bride and groom who were asked before hand stood up and went to dance on a cue in the song. After that other couples got up if they wished.

Anyone who wants to.. The DJ usually says something like "the bride & groom now requests that you join them on the dancefloor" x

We're just having the first dance for us. Then my fiancé is doing a dance with his best man - the same one they did and put on YouTube in 2002. After that, everyone can dance.

Bridal party so bridesmaids with groomsmen, parents with each other (traditionally it's opposite parents dance together) and any grandparents, then next song is an everyone song.

First dance you and h2b, second dance first best man and maid of honour join you then both sets of parents and any other bridal party then you can open the floor to anyone to join you (this is the traditional way but you can do it anyway you like) xx

That's up to you I think, if you want people to join in then have the dj invite them onto the dance floor. We're having our first dance choreographed so our first dance will just be us xx

I went to a wedding where the dj announced that the bride and groom would like to invite everyone to join them. I think a lot of people just have the song to themselves :)

I would say it's completely to you! A friend had the groomsmen dance with the bridesmaids which was really awkward because they didn't want to it!
