50 First Dance Songs Worth Framing (For Every Kind of Couple)

Some songs are just made for a first dance — and once you’ve picked yours, it deserves more than a spot on a wedding playlist buried in a phone somewhere. That’s the whole idea behind our first dance lyrics prints and music sheet art: the song that played while you two swayed in front of everyone you love, hand typed or rendered onto cotton paper, framed and hung somewhere you’ll see it every day.

However You Danced, We’ll Frame It

Whatever song made your list — even if it’s not on ours — we can turn it into a keepsake two ways: as a first dance lyrics print, hand typed on 100% cotton paper, or as a custom music sheet, rendered as an authentic piece of sheet music in an acrylic frame. Just leave us the song title, artist, your names, and your date at checkout, and we’ll take it from there.
