I would like to add that if you do plan to use slow songs, be sure that you
know what kind of people will be at the party.  People who are generally
closer to each other (either they come in couples or are pretty good friends)
will dance to slow songs more likely than a bunch of people who come together
for the first time.

I speak from experience.  Once, we (I and some college friends of mine) 
had a bunch of people who all knew each other well. We played nothing *but* 
slow songs for over an hour.  Tried it again with people who didn't know each
other so well and it bombed.
