Dollar dance ??

Well, is it part of your culture you actively participate in or are you just doing it to be greedy?

Since you came here willingly to get opinions, I'll be honest. I think it's super trashy and awkward. That's not to say that I haven't seen it done, I've been to plenty of weddings where the bride and groom have done one. However - I would never in a million years do it. It is so rude to ask your guests to open their wallets at your wedding.

Exactly. Be prepared for people to take extra money out of the envelope that was intended for the happy couple.

I find them to be creepy and weird

I agree; awkward and weird. Cultural or not, it's your wedding and it's your call.

Don't do it.

If it was a cultural thing, then great.

My sister had it at her wedding. I got surprised at the reception that I had to wear an apron and collect the money (I was MOH). Whole thing felt weird and awkward.

Will not be happening at our wedding.

If it is something that your family does or culture does a lot and its a normal for those your inviting to the wedding then go for it. If your doing it just because you want money then don't....You will get a lot of criticism and people saying its tacky and rude for posting this question I see it a lot but honestly it's actually something that is seen as normal in a lot of places.

My family is Irish and Polish. The Polish side wants me to do it as a tradition but to my FH's family it may look gift-grabby. Apparently FSIL did it but I still am choosing not to do it. I think it can be tacky and I don't want to ask my guests for money

Don't do it

It is part of my culture, but we have decided not to do this (*Probably the first person in my family to do so). It's just awkward for my fiance and myself to have to dance with everyone, not to mention time consuming. We would prefer to just enjoy the night and have fun dancing with everyone to upbeat music.

I would feel like a stripper, dancing for dollar bills. No thank you.

A brief history of thoughts on the dollar dance:

Thank you one star Jamessa who is now flagged. You really put us in our place.

Not.

I hate it. If you want to give us money (I hate asking people for money it makes me feel awkward) put it in a nice card and place it on the gift table

Tacky and trashy. But that is easy for me to say as it is not part of my culture. I would never do it myself and I would be super awkward if it happened at a wedding I was attending.

If it is part of your culture then do it. I wouldn't do it cause I view it as tacky. But at the end of the day it is your choice.

I don't have any.

It's super popular in my culture so I'm doing it! When I announced my engagement a lot of my family joked that they were getting their dollar bills ready already! It's "tradition" and my older family, including my great grandma, won't like it if I don't stick to tradition lol!

It's crazy that some people think it's ok to "do it for the culture" while others call it tacky and trashy. How you don't see that as completely rude to someone's culture is beyond me...

OP, if you want to do the dollar dance, do it because you want to!
