Because I'm doing a DW, I'm not doing any traditional wedding stuff (not saying that you can't, just not happening for me). Because of that, I'm just having a really relaxed "reception" afterwards, drinking and dancing.

I have heard that the money dance is extremely rude, not my personal opinion, but nonetheless, I'd probably opt out of that one.

Married and Single dances would be fine, as long as you have enough for both. I loved these parts of receptions that I've been at.

Just don't plan too much, I always hate going to wedding where everything from the time I get to the reception to the time I leave is planned for me. Also don't do too many group things

The only problem with a Money dance is a lot of ppl don't bring cash to a wedding and if they do they intend to spend it on alcohol. I personally find the idea silly [but not every does ] I love the single dance. Is the married couple dance the anniversary dance? I think the anniversary dance is super sweet; we r doing that. there's something called the circle of friends at the end of the wedding.

Personally, I am not a fan of any of that stuff. I find it to be a mood killer. I think if you have good music people will be involved. I usually sit that group stuff out. If you are doing a dance that only involved part of your guests then you are asking part to step away from the fun. It will be that much harder to get them back out there.

After we looked at our guest list we realized we have a TON of single guys and only and handful of single girls so were nixing the garter and bouquet toss. We plan to have the anniversary dance (I’ll give a bouquet to the lady who has been married the longest). I personally think it’s a great way to involve your guests and honor all of the married couples.

Thanx Ladies my husband hates the idea of a m oney dance and singles dance aslo so I guess the Anni dance is it, which is cool with me

I like the idea of the anniversary dance.  In my area a money dance would be considered very rude.

I have no idea what a money dance, a singles dance or a married couples dance are. Maybe we don't do those in Canada or I'm just out of the loop! Is it just when those people get up and dance?

I think people who will want to be involved will be dancing anyway. I don't see any reason to have a special activity for them.
