The tradition
The money dance, dollar dance, and apron dance are wedding traditions found in multiple cultures where guests give money to the newlyweds during the reception celebration. The specific practices vary significantly across cultures, ranging from guests paying to dance briefly with the bride or groom, to showering the couple with cash, to pinning banknotes on the couple's clothing. These traditions serve as a way for guests to show support for the marriage, provide financial assistance to help the couple start their new life together, and symbolize wishes for future prosperity.¶
