Thank heavens this involves actual shots... and not what I've been taught a "money shot" means.
That said - your guests shouldn't have to pony up money at your wedding. I'd skip the "money shot dance" (whatever that is) altogether if I were you.
We're Married!! And I couldn't be happier!
In addition to what everyone else said, if you're really set on doing this, I'd double check with your venue if you haven't already to see if they even allow shots. Some venues don't.
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
[QUOTE]its where people give money when they dance with the Groom/Bride, and they get a shot before the dance. its fun and its been at the wedding i been too, its <strong>a little bonus to just giving money the Groom/Bride</strong> to dance with them.

If your guests want to give you money, they'll write a check or withdraw some cash and place it in a card.
Asking them to give money (for a dance, shots, or otherwise) is rude. Be a proper host and don't expect your guests to pull money out for anything at your wedding.
... but if you insist on being rude and continuing this fundraiser, for the love of all things appropriate, change what you are calling it!

In some cultures is it expected that money dances happen, and family gets upset if you don't do them. OP - it doesn't sound like this is the case for you - it seems like you saw it at a wedding and want to get a few extra bucks from your guests.
Let them give you their gift in the card box, and leave cash out of the picture during the reception. People want to have fun and not feel like they have to pull out their wallets during the reception.
If you want to do shots, you can have them at the receiving line. Ones I've seen before are sambuca, amaretto, and schnapps. They're a bit lower in alcohol concentration than traditional bar rail liquor.

I'd have to pay you if I want to dance with you... and you're offering to get me drunk, first? lmao, this might be one of those traditions that has lived past it's expiration date.

Oh, okay, thanks for clarifying.
Don't do it. It's rude to shake down your guests for cash at your wedding, and the name is just plain gross and could be potentially offensive.
Are you saying that nobody at your wedding likes you enough to want to dance with you sober?
[QUOTE]Unless this is a tradition in your family used at every wedding and will be expected at yours, SKIP IT. Besides the fact that asking for money is tacky, what if you had it all set up and NOBODY participated?
Posted by Cortney1982[/QUOTE]
Or, worse, people participated out of pity because they saw no one else was stepping forward?

Nothing about a money shot tastes good.
Too far?

I think "money/dollar/cash/etc" at the wedding is just wrong. BUT, if it's something you want to do- do simple shots and name them something "cutesy"
Shots like pink pvssy and cowboy c0cksuckers are tasty and fun- but not so nice names.
Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
