Dollar Dash- Response from a DJ: The way I do it when I DJ a reception is to have the bride and groom go around with either baskets or pillow cases to all the guests. The premise is that whoever collects the most money gets control of the game controller or tv remote or Netflix for the first month of the marriage. You make it a contest and get the guests excited about it and involved. Most people really enjoy it over having a long drawn out dollar dance. The DJ needs to be involved though and really keep the action going. You make 3 times the money as a dollar dance.
Or this:
Our DJ suggested doing a dance raffle. We bought a bottle of vanilla vodka and a bottle of
Jack Daniels, then the DJ "sold" raffle tickets and randomly picked three guys and three girls (so we danced one full song with each), and then the third guy and girl "won" the booze. It was way less awkward and time consuming than a traditional dollar dance and we still made hundreds of dollars : ).
