Dollar Dance?

I had seen this mentioned in a prior post but rarely see it talked about. I'd love to hear what the P&E girls think about the infamous "Dollar Dance". :-)

General consensus is no. Unless it's common in your area/circle.

Hate it. The only worse idea I've seen was a couple holding a 50/50 raffle. Weddings are not fundraisers.FMIL was crushed when she found out when I didn't want one, since it's a "great way for people to get to know the bride and groom". Which is silly, because anyone can come and get to know me for free.

Oh my gosh, a 50/50 raffle?!? Ok that is hilarious but so so so bad!! hahaha

So many people told us we HAD to have a dollar dance. I've never been interested in doing it, so we didn't for the wedding. And honestly, a dollar dance sounds like something you'd find at a strip club, not at a wedding.

It is right up there in the top 5 on the tack-o-meter.

It sucks. For sure. To be avoided at all costs. It's worse than a cash bar, to me. We won't be having either.

Not a fan. But I'd never heard of it until I came to the Knot. I figure that almost everyone will have SOME people from out of town at their wedding, or people in one family won't be familier with it, which will make someone uncomfortable. Opening my wallet at your wedding does not make me happy.But if your wedding is ALL people from your hometown/family/circle and you all are used to it - go for it.Concensus from most girls here who are from areas who had them and chose not to do it for whatever reason is that no one missed it or asked about it.

People shouldn't have to open their wallets for ANY reason at your wedding. They should be able to forget them at home and it not matter in the slightest.

Sheesh, a dollar is too cheap. We did a $10 dance.

Dollar dances are completely normal where I'm from. In fact, I've never been to a wedding that didn't have one. When I mentioned possibly not having one, my family and friends were shocked. So I guess it just depends on your situation.

I am still trying to decide if I want to do the dollar dance. It is normal where I come from and where my wedding is going to take place. I just don't know if I want to dance with everyone!!

Reminds me of a strip club, so yeah...

I had one, but I'm Polish and my family would have freaked out if I DIDN'T have one. We played a traditional polka and I wore my great grandma's babushka. I've only been to two weddings where a dollar dance didn't happen. Both brides were friends of mine and not of Polish heritage. Any family wedding I've been to has included a dollar dance.
