The dollar dance (or money dance) is a wedding custom where the guests pay for the privilege of dancing with the bride or groom.

With roots stemming from Poland in the early part of the 20th century, the dollar dance has long been a traditional part of weddings from many cultures.

Pros

• It can be a fun way for guests to spend a few minutes with the engaged couple during a busy day.
• Dollar dances are considered traditional in certain cultures.

Cons

• Some couples are uncomfortable asking guests to give them more money, especially since so many guests are traveling and giving gifts.

Songs

Some couples opt to play "money" themed music during the money dance. Appropriate songs include:

• Money Can't Buy Me Love by the Beatles
• Money Money Money by ABBA
