I have also seen "wishing wells" where people drop money into a cardboard well.

Down here they must do the "ghetto" version of the "dollar dance". Here, someone dances with the bride or the groom, in order to dance, they have to pin the money on who ever they dance with.
Pinning money on someone for their birthday is big here, too.
Some weddings have the "wishing well" where there is something big decorated in the colors of the wedding and guests can give whatever (money) they choose.
Now, I find this ghetto IF one thinks I'm supposed to purchase a gift AND give you money for the well or the dance. Either the gift or the money...
