Is it Klassy to offer transportation to your guests for $$?
Just wondering if this is something you would consider klassy?
Like to offer your wedding guests a ride on a party bus, but make them pay for it?
Re: Is it Klassy to offer transportation to your guests for $$?
Totally make them pay. There is no way you'll recoup enough in the dollar dance to cover it.
(Disclaimer, I did in fact have a doller dance, but it is tradional in my italian family.)
I mean...you don't want to have to mark up the cash bar *too* much. That would be tacky.

First time I've heard it for Italian weddings...is this part of the joke?...if not, how does it work (like what traditions are worked in to it). I've been to dozens of italian weddings so both me and my husband are and have never seen it done
Nope, not a joke... Basically, the DJ play's a song and guests can pay a dollar to dance with the Bride or the Groom.
I said in MY Italian family. I am not sure if it is in ALL Italian familes. My understanding is that it actually a Polish tradition. However, where my parents are from in South Jersey the Polish and Italian Catholics all lived in the same area. So, maybe it was coopted? I don't really know, but it has been a staple of all the family weddings I can remember.

What makes it part of the joke, is back in the planning days there was a HUGE to do about Dollar Dances on the P&E board, because knotties who had never even heard of it were trying to figure out ways to incorporate the dance into their wedding. They were asking for cute poems to explain the dance to their guests.
They are also HUGE in the Pittsburgh area. We didn't do one, but it is an Italian/Polish/Solvenian/Solvakian tradition.
LOL!
What about the apron dance? I never really liked that people had to pay to dance with bride and groom.
K...I thought there was some italian spin on it. I just figured Italian families differ so much based on the region they came from (I mean even the sauce is so different)...I was just curious.
THis made me choke
