I have been wrestling with the 'Dollar Dance' issue for a while now. FI insists on it, its a huge thing at all their families weddings. And to be completely honest I've never thought of the Dollar Dance as tacky and I don't think my family does either. But...
Since being on theknot I've heard a lot of awful things said about it and I would never want to make my guests feel uncomforble. Still, I'd really love that one-on-one time you'd get with your guests as they come up to dance with the bride and groom, and I think it would be memorable, fun, and cherished by FI and I, as well as our guests.
(sorry this is a long post)
I heard an interesting idea on another board... They called it the Wish Dance... Guests write a message, a wish, or line of advice and come up and drop it in a purse or jar, then get their chance to dance with the Bride and Groom. If they insist on giving money, they would be able to put it with their wish but we wouldnt be asking for it. I think this is a lovely compromise and I think it would definitly work for us.
Now here's my question: How should I go about this? leave scraps of paper on all the tables? have a certain station that guests could go to...I'd be affraid a lot of people would miss it and not know what was going on.. maybe add a little sign to the guestbook table (I'm affraid it would get cluttered because i also have my seating chart with the guestbook)....
please help! thank you
