‘Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna’ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)

This classic song from DDLJ has remained on wedding playlists for the last decade. It’s perfect for the couple to officially flirt and tease each other in front of the whole world, just before their wedding.

‘Gal Mitthi Mitthi’ (Aisha)

This superb Punjabi song is one of the few good things to come out of Aisha. Easy to choreograph, it can be enjoyed by the younger members of the family, mostly the groom and his best men.

‘Navrai Majhi’ (English Vinglish)

It will be a crime to be the mother of the bride and not dance on this song. This beautiful marathi song has the perfect lyrics for mother who is ready to give away her daughter.

‘Ainvayi Ainvayi’ (Band Baaja Baaraat)

Made popular by the quirky dance moves and Ranveer Singh’s air guitar, this song is great for big groups to dance to. Let down your hair and unleash your inner rock god!

‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ (Bachna Ae Haseeno)

If the groom-to-be has been a total player before getting hitched, this track is perfect to describe his good ol’ days of fooling around.

‘Genda Phool’ (Delhi 6)

This one is perfect for the bride’s side to dance on, especially for the mother and the aunties because of its slow pace and beautiful lyrics which tease the groom’s relatives in a fun manner.

‘Maahi Ve’ (Kal Ho Naa Ho)

This song never manages to get old or boring and is great for absolutely all the friends and relatives to dance on. The song compliments the bride-to-be and makes her feel special – which is exactly what she wants!

‘Bole Chudiyan’ (K3G)

This song has to be performed by the bride and the bridesmaids if the bride is a drama queen who loves being filmy. Mimicking the dance steps which Kareena does is as easy and graceful as it can get.

‘Saajan Ji Ghar’ (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai)

This adorable song is a song which can be performed by the groom’s side to tease the bride-to-be. It talks about the groom who has come to take away his love, but how she is shying away and making excuses.

‘Wah Wah Ramji’ (Hum Aapke Hain Koun)

This song can be throughly enjoyed by the friends of the couple who tease each other and may even fall in love during the wedding fever.

This song has beautiful music and lyrics which speak about what all emotions might be going through bride’s mind before her wedding day.

‘Mauja Hi Mauja’ (Jab We Met)

There is not a single soul which will not be on the dance floor when this song is playing. With Shahid’s incredible dance moves to follow, this modern classic is here to stay.

‘Desi Girl’ (Dostana)

Always a winner with the NRI grooms marrying an Indian kudi. No one can beat a DESI girl. What do you think DESIblitzers?
