Dollar Dance? Heard of it?


Recommended Posts

I've been to a Mexican-Armenian wedding where the Mexican side pinned the money on the B&G to dance with them during the "dollar dance" and the Armenian side would walk around the couple multiple times throughout the night and throw/shower the money over the couple... (I'm now wishing I was Armenian or married one, lol.)

I agree, plus you don't have to participate. I've been to weddings where I barely knew the groom and didn't want to dance with him and make small talk for a minute, so I just didn't.

I also was at a wedding once where the grandma of the bride stuffed a wad of cash into the groom's crotch...haha

The $ is usually collected by the BM in a cowboy boot. As for dances with the bride and groom, the bride gets the song, 'I knew the bride when she used to rock n roll' and the groom gets 'I'm to sexy' and usually gets slightly stripped down by all the women dancing around him.
That sounds fun :)

LOL, this is funny. I think it's one of those to each his own things... but it was a good time! Some people like doing certain traditional things, and as long as everyone is having fun, esp. the bride and groom, then go for it! I told my PA friends that if we had one, my fam and friends would be like, is this a strip tease? dollar dance? Hehe, but I thought it was a great time.... even though I didn't see that there was a line and my Jersey booty cut right in front of everyone and handed over a $5 for a quick dance! LOL....

 

These things are not tacky... my friends tried to tell me no electirc slide and was like "HECK YEAH! Boogie woogie woogie!"cheer2.gif

yeah everyone has things they like that others think are tacky. When i go to a wedding I want to dance to all the silly stuff. I want to do the macarena. there better be some baby got back. maybe a little YMCA.

one man's tacky is another man's good time :)

I have seen this done where you pin it to the bride's dress (no way would I allow pins in my dress in fear of ruining it!) and where the bride carries a basket. They seem to raise a lot of money. For us we will not be doing this. Our guests are already spending a fortune to come down and many are still adamant about buying us a gift even though we have requested no gifts.

I only found these quotes. hmm, maybe I just started something.

One man's "tacky" is another man's tasteful.
one man's tacky is another man's marketing ploy

if you make the shirt it has to be TACKY. tie die, fringe, puff paint, the works :)

I think it's great! My uncle started it for my sister's wedding (he gave her a few hundres bucks!) but then he got everyone in the place to dance with her and she made a sh*% load of cash too! It's alot of fun and great for pictures cause she got to dance with everyone! Why not?!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
