In addition to performances like dancing or singing, female guests on the bride’s side often read a letter as a gift.

In this article, we’ll introduce songs that portray women’s friendships and are perfect for weddings.

We hope this will be helpful not only for female guests planning a performance, but also for brides looking for a song to play when they leave the room with their friends during the reception.
