Money Dance

What ever..why can`t people be kind in this world today? Why so much madness on a message board that is SUPPOSE to help you out? Be nice......

Everything has to turn into a heated discussion some how. But I say that if you want to do it, then do it. You can look at it in the way that the bride and groom are just trying to get more money out of people, or you can look at it in the way that it gives the guest more one-on-one time with the couple, and as long as everyone does it the same as people around me, you get a shot of alcohol for a dollar. That is a cheap shot!!! lol Do whatever you want...........it is your day afterall!!

There is no such thing as an American wedding or anything else. The bride and groom chooses the type, style and arrangements of their wedding making it their own. If you choose to have a money dance at your wedding, then that is what you have chosen for your wedding. There is no wrong or right when it comes to your happiness and what you want for your day. If there are people who do not want to involve themselves in it, they just won`t pay the dollar to dance. I have never seen such madness on one message board in my life!?!?! I can`t believe it. What ever happened to if you can`t say anything nice, don`t say anything at all. I know that they feel they are helping but sometimes it comes off hurtful. If you feel that you want to do something different at your wedding, do it. I had a spanish twist to mine and I am not hispanic at all. I did it because I wanted it that way. I don`t believe that it is begging, no more than having a cash bar at a wedding and no more than having a bridal bag - isn`t that presumptious? To carry that means that you are expecting to get cards and cash. If you want to do something, do it. Whatever makes you happy.

Michele,
I will be having a money dance at my wedding, and it will be having an upscale, expensive wedding. This is not a bride and groom trying to get money out of their guests, most people only give a dollar! It is simply a time-honored, VOLUNTARY tradition so any one who wants to has a chance to dance with the bride or groom on their wedding day. I see it as a way to spend a little personal time with each guest on such a busy night. My guests would be upset if we didn`t have one! Just my opinion, Good luck!

Tina, the veiling of the bride is a Jewish wedding tradition that started long before any Great Britian tradition. The Jewish tradition not only incorporates wearing a veil, but there is an actual veiling ceremony right before the nuptials.

The (Dollar Dance) as it is called in the south has been around for Many years! Actually one of the first of many game type events to be performed! Its a way for people to have a personal dance with the bride & groom and wish them many years of happiness together! As a DJ, I have made it into more of a game event, I actually auction the bride & Groom off for the first dance of the (money dance) as you called it! Iv seen Many people come in for a free meal, Dance all night, And an open bar, Its a fun thing to auction them off, Just adds to the reception! Iv Seen Brides bring over $500 & Others $100. Its a special night for the Bride & Groom, Why not try to make it a little more special! Our DJ service is in Southern Illinois, And im sure we do things much different than the City DJs! Were Entertainers, Not Just a Disc Jockey! The Wedding is the serious part, Once the reception starts its time to have fun! So! Enjoy the Dollar dance, It can be a fun time!
