Dollar Dance Money Dance Alternative
The dollar dance is rooted in the idea that guests could buy a dance from the bride by secretly slipping her some cash. There was even the idea of a bridal purse being used to keep it safe. The money was intended as pin money from which she could start her new household. Some say this tradition is polish in origin and was first introduced in the 20th century.
In modern times many couples find the dollar dance unnecessary. Not needing the cash and otherwise being financially secure. But an often overlooked opportunity with the dollar dance is the chance for your guests to get a moment alone with the bride or groom, say hi, and share a few nice moments. In this case it is possible to still have the dollar dance but we will call it the wish dance. We can also announce that proceeds will be donated to charity, or request that money not be given.
