    I'm not sure what an apron dance is? Is it like a dollar dance?

    In my area, people typically use a traditional fast-paced polka song for the bridal dance. It's usually done after everyone's eaten and had a few drinks, but not so late in the night that guests have started leaving. Just like the dance itself, I'm sure the music and timing vary by region.

    I believe it's like the dollar dance...the music would just depend on your daughter. Does she want to slow dance with guests? I would do it after dinner when people are starting to dance - you don't want to stop people from dancing to do this, unless it's just going to blend in with everyone else dancing?

    That sounds even weirder than the dollar dance. My advice: Just don't do it. Guests should never have to open their wallets at a wedding.

    Traditionally, in Poland, the bride wore an apron for the dollar dance and that's where they put the money...if it's a tradition in your family go for it.

    Things like this don't go over well on these boards.

    @Jean, it is definitely a cultural thing. No one in my family or circle of friends do them, in fact I never heard of them until WW. But if it's the norm where you are I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

    In my culture, it's the money dance. It's a popular tradition in many different cultures from hispanic, to european to asian, to whatever.

    there is no set kind of music rules to it. I think it would be good to start off slow songs then pick it up a bit as people start to get comfortable with the idea and have a lot of fun with it. That's how I am doing mine at least or experienced in other weddings with "money" or "apron" dance. Mine is filipino btw.

    i like how people automatically got "wtf" or "huh" rather than just ask, what it is because I thought it would have been nice to be respectful of other people's cultures and traditions especially weddings. i wouldn't be surprised if this person or other people like her wouldn't want to post here anymore because they'll think they are just getting ridiculed for the traditional things they do at their weddings culturally.
