I arrived at the venue to setup my equipment. The first thing I saw was a large shelf with Fireball (whiskey) shots in cute bottles that had the guest’s names on them. There was even one for me. I loved the thoughtfulness to include me.

I knew what these shots were for. To open the dance floor that night, I invited everyone to the dance floor with their shot in hand (the kids had juice in their bottles). All the guests at once took the shots as I dropped “Fireball” by Pitbull. I have no idea where the bride got this idea, but it worked great. What a great way to start the party. Yes, it’s a trick to get people onto the dance floor, but it’s better than starting off with a slow-dance for everyone which feels cheesy.
