"The honeymoon dance."

Ehhh I haven't done it but I'd be put off if I brought you a gift and then you asked for more money. Some people call this a dollar dance. There are varying opinions but I'm not a fan at all

ETA: typo

That's basically a "dollar dance." I've been to a couple weddings where they've done it but have never participated, and definitely am not doing it myself. I'm not a fan either...

It's your wedding and if you don't want it just tell the DJ so. He can't force you to do anything.

I think that sounds tacky - IMO!

If the dollar dance (honeymoon dance) isn't normal in your area and it sounds like it isn't I would skip it. I've never heard of it until I read about it on WW.

This thread comes up frequently. Some people are vehemently opposed to it, some love it. I personally don't like it. I feel like it's begging.

It's called the dollar dance as well. We did it and regardless if people think its tacky or not, it's all in fun. Im Mexican and most of the weddings I been to do that. It would be weird to not see it at a wedding. Tradition I guess. Anyways, no one is forcing your guest to participate and it's only $1. You are not asking them to pay $5, $10, $20 or even $50. Like I said its all in fun and you get a chance to dance with your guest. If $1 is going to make people throw a fit then they have a problem. Like others have said, if its normal in your area then you shouldn't have a problem.

If you feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't do it. it's not worth feeling uncomfortable at your own wedding to get $50 or whatever it would wind up being. especially if you're concerned it will make guests unhappy too.. not having it won't upset anyone.

I would definately put my foot down and say no.

I haven't participated in one but I have seen it done. I think it would depend on your guests and whether it's popular in your area/circle etc. I personally do think it's kinda tacky haha and I wouldn't do it but that's just me. I am uncomfortable asking people for stuff anyway!

We also come from families where it's very normal and expected to have a dollar dance. I've been seeing it since I was growing up. It's a lot of fun for guests and like Val said, if some don't want to participate they don't have to. It's completely optional.

If it's something you don't feel comfortable with though, don't do it. In my opinion, if a dollar dance is tacky, then a bridal shower should also be considered tacky since guests are expected to bring a gift that is likely more than $1.

Where I'm from, it's called the dollar dance, and I've seen it at every wedding I've been to. Guests tend to love it, and they give you however much they want to, it's a chance to one on one with the bride/groom for people, which you don't get.

We're not doing it though, his family has never done one, and I don't like dancing with people I don't know well, it will make me uncomfortable.

I was debating doing this until my DJ company said that it's done quite often here in Phoenix and with all kinds of cultures. Who knew? We won't call it a dollar dance though. So, we will be doing it. I think it will be fun and I'm great friends with my FH's guys!!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate the feedback!

The FH and I will have to talk about it. I don't think it's tacky. Sounds like it'll be fun depending on the crowd. I personally was concerned of it being too time consuming etc. and people being bored waiting to get the party started. I've only been to 2 weddings before and I haven't seen it done, so I'm not sure how to feel about it as a guest or bride. But definitely something to think about. I have some time thanks again!

No. In some cultures/communities a dollar dance is expected, but it's screaming tacky if it's not part of your tradition. . If I was at a wedding and I saw this happening? I'd be mortified; it just doesn't happen here.
