I think dollar dances are horrifying. I had one at my own wedding, but the money raised was not worth the embarrassment of the grubbing for money.

Agreed.

When my husband and I were planning our wedding, I lurked on alt.wedding (raise your hand if you remember Usenet - LOL), and the topic of dollar dances came up from time to time. The general consensus was that it was tacky. My take on it was, "Guests pay a dollar to dance with me? What am I, a bride or a cheap whore?" I danced with several of our male guests (I even danced with my mom, since my dad is a stick in the mud and refused to do a father-daughter dance) - why? - because they were our guests. Our guests had already bought us gifts, and, in many cases, had spent quite a bit of money to be there on our wedding day. To ask them for additional money to dance with the bride or groom just struck us as ... tacky.
