| Whether or not a money dance will be part of the bride and groom's celebration will be largely determined by the traditions of their families. The money dance is a lot of fun and it gives the guests an opportunity to share a moment on the dancefloor with the bride and groom.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS There are a number of factors to co nsider when including the Money Dance in the reception's festivities. First, a larger number of guests will mean that a greater amount of time is required for everyone to be part of the money dance. This may have some determination on the amount of hours required for the reception. If a group of 200-300 will be present, then the money dance may take 20 to 30 minutes for everyone to participate.
Another factor is the manner in which the money will be collected. In the past, guests would always pin the bills to the clothing of the Bride and Groom, creating a dramatic look for photos. Today it is very popular to have a designated person or persons, such as the Maid Of Honor or Best Man, collect the donations.
Also, It's best to keep the music slow for the Money Dance. Many will feel uncomfortable fast dancing with so few people on the dancefloor.
The Money Dance is a great time to play some slow favorites of the Bride and Groom that might not have been played otherwise. If the Bride and Groom have certain favorite artists or styles, this is a great way to play those during a "dancing portion" of the evening.
