Yes, they are very common where I live. Just about every wedding I've gone to has had one.

@kjpugs: I don't know about corn on the cob for dessert. We had cake. There is a yummy Vietnamese dish called Che bap where you cut the corn off the cob and mix it with tapioca and sugar. It's delicious!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: mmmm that does sound amazing!!!
-
I've never seen one! I don't think they're a thing here.
-
I have never heard of this! Sounds fun and really interesting lol
-
Yes, they are very common where I live. Just about every wedding I've gone to has had one except for ours! We totally didn't feel like doing that! I don't know it felt "needy"...
-
Just once and it was a different area of the country than where I live. Doesn't bother me at all. DH and I didn't participate but everyone who did seemed like they were having a blast. I think in that case it was regional because these people weren't from any of the cultures mentioned above.
-
Yes, almost every wedding we have been too has a "dollar dance." I choose not to do it because I think it is awkward & I don't like doing it!
-
I went to a Greek wedding and liked their tradition. My SIL did one, but it felt tacky since they announced they needed money for their honeymoon (which I'm pretty sure they still haven't taken....3 years later...soooo)
-
Yep, I've been to quite a few weddings with a dollar dance. My bestie did one. My brother and I didn't do one for our weddings.
-
I attended a wedding with a money dance and had no idea what was going on. The bride's family is from the Caribbean. At one point Caribbean music started to play and I tuned it out. Finally, iI was on the dance floor during the tail end of the money pinning. The experience was all a blur.
-
Yes. The bride was Filipino. It didn't really bother me, but I also didn't really care about the couple. It was my ex boyfriend's dad's brother's cousin's wedding or something lol.
-
Super common where I'm from. I don't mind them when I attend, but I chose to not have one at my wedding. Too much EXTRA attention, when the wedding was already enough!!
-
@matador84: I've been to two Hispanic weddings recently- one couple was Cuban and the other was Puerto Rico & Mexican and neither had a money dance.
-
Yep, I've been to a bunch of them and I had one. I think it is weird that anyone gets so worked up over it. If you don't like it, don't participate. It's not like someone is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to give the bride and groom a dollar.
-
We've been to 4 weddings (all our friends) who had a money dance. They all did it differently, depending on their culture.
--Filipino (bride)/Mexican (groom) wedding: the bride's family was PRO at making crowns, sashes, etc. out of the bills and would have the happy couple "wear" their dollars.
--Mexican (groom)/Korean (bride-- not her culture's tradition): us bridesmaids had little dress pins and handed them to guests who were waiting in line to dance with them. They would pin the bills to the bride's dress or groom's tux.
--Mexican (bride)/White (groom-- not his culture's tradition): same thing with the pins.
--White/white B&G (neither one of their culture's traditions): the bride had a little satin purse and the guests stuffed their bills into it to dance. I think we just stuffed the bills into the groom's jacket and pockets.We're in southern California so it's a big melting pot of cultures and traditions for weddings.
-
@Meltini: Yes! I agree!! I think calling a tradition tacky that is clearly cultural is tacky in itself.
We didn't do a money dance and I've only ever been to one wedding where there was one. The bride is Filipina and the groom is Polish. I live in Canada and I do not associate it as a Canadian thing at all!
-
@littlebug: We had crowns, bows, and rings (made out of $100 bills!) for us. We didn't mention it ahead of time, but since it's pretty common in our circle people really came prepared lol.
