Dollar Dance & Alternatives

---

The Dollar Dance is an excellent way to get to dance and talk with a lot of your guests in a short period of time while also helping you get a good start to your marriage. 

We are able to play music for the Dollar Dance until guests appear to be done or we can limit it to a few songs.

The Bride and Groom will stand on the dance floor and wait to get started and then they will run out and grab a dollar bill and bring it back to the head table in a competition of bride vs groom.

The Best Man and Maid of Honor can also join in on the fun to help out the Bride and Groom.

Place two jars out on the cake table; a Jar for the Bride and a Jar for the Groom. Have a competition during the Cocktail Hour/Dinner to see which side gets more money with the loser getting cake to the face. 

Bonus - add a limit so that if it is hit, you both will get cake to the face.

Guests will line up like they do for a dollar dance but instead of paying to dance with the Bride and Groom, they will pay to take a picture with the Bride and Groom.

Place two jars out on the head table; a Jar for the Bride and a Jar for the Groom. Hold a competition to the first dance to see which side raises the most!

During the Cocktail Hour / Before Dinner - the 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd tables can be auctioned off for a right to eat first.

Throw a separate bouquet toss or candy toss for 15 y/o and under as well as a toss for the single ladies above that age to get everyone involved.

Get a picture with the winner!

Have your florist combine multiple small bouquets into one large bouquet to throw so multiple people win.

Present the Bouquet to someone sentimental to you or to the winners of the anniversary dance.

We have three options here:

1. Take off the garter before garter festivities

2. Remove the garter during a garter removal song.

3. Have the DJ make the Groom dance for the right to take off his wife's garter. (The brides father or Maid of Honor make great judges for this)

DJ Suggestion: Throw out something fun for the kids and then throw out a garter for the single men.

Instead of throwing a garter, throw a foam football with a gift card attached.

If you would prefer to raise some money instead of just tossing the garter away, the garter can be auctioned off. Forever Young DJ Services is happy to be your auctioneer however you are more than welcome to invite someone who has an auctioneer voice to perform this as well.

We will fill up multiple balloons and have one contain the garter and the rest contain candy, string, and other miscellaneous items. We will charge to pop balloons as a donation to the Bride and Groom.

During the shoe game, your DJ will have you sit back to back with your spouse with a shoe of each of yours in your hands. You will then answer whether the question pertains more to the Bride or the Groom by raising the corresponding shoe.

Fun tip: Invite your wedding party to "vote" on what they think while you play by going from one side to the other.

Blindfold the Groom and have him try to identify his wife from a lineup of similarly built women by only feeling her hand. 

 Have everybody dance or follow the leader dance and freeze when song stops.

Tip: Charge to play with the winner keeping their money and the rest going to the couple.

Traditional name that tune can be fun to decide which table goes to dinner first and it can also be a great bridal party feud game to play bridesmaids vs groomsmen.

I will talk with you and together we will identify one "victim". We will then get a group together that includes your victim that keeps them from getting suspicious that they are about to be the victim of a prank. I will then talk with all other group members and tell them about what we are going to do. 

I will announce that we are going to do a dance competition and I'll call up my "volunteers" to the dance floor. Right before we start, I will pause and say that I don't want everyone copying each others moves as that's what always happens so we are going to blindfold everyone. I will blindfold the victim last allowing them to see me blindfold everyone else. I will then quickly and quietly remove everyone elses blindfold to reveal the victim dancing in what is being announced as a dance competition, alone. At the end it is revealed that they have been the only one dancing.

I will play one song and the Bride and Groom will go around and try to take a selfie with every table and every guest during one song.

 Moderator names a task to complete each time music stops) (loser has to draw from loser tasks from the bucket and include tasks like mow B/G yard this July, wash their car, babysit their kids, play santa clause for their children, etc) 

Traditional Musical Chairs

I will pick a guest and I will reveal random facts about that guest throughout the night, seeing who can guess who it is first. 

DJ Tip: Charge to guess as an additional fundraiser for the couple.

I will have 5 teams of two compete to see who can pop three balloons the quickest without using their hands or feet.

I will invite 10 random guests to ask the Bride questions about the Groom and vice versa to see who knows who better!

I will ask guests a series of questions related to the couple to decide who goes first at dinner!

I will place small toys/candy around the venue before guests arrive to find as prizes during the cocktail hour.

$100 charge applies.

A bingo card with things done or said in the night! 

Ladies help the Bride write a poem for the groom and guys help the Groom write a poem for the Bride; 2 words at a time.

I will ask the Bride a series of questions about her Groom such as how many times can he hula-hoop and then we will test him on what she believes he can do.

I will ask each table to take out a dollar bill and hold it up in the air. Once every table has one dollar in the air, I will ask a series of questions with the person holding the buck passing the buck to the person they believe is the answer to the question. The person that is last with the buck will get cake or drinks for the entire table.

I will ask questions and if they answer yes to the question, the guests must get up and move from their table to another table and can only move with two people from their previous table. We will allow them 30 seconds to a minute to chat and then repeat.

I will have the couple face their guests and then I'll ask their guests a series of question with a marker board and if that pertains to them they will stand up and the Bride and Groom will have to talk to each other to try to guess what that group of people has in common.

 I will create cards for a photo scavenger hunt where guests have to take photos of laughter, kissing, dancing, toasting, etc. and upload it with your hashtag to win.

Dance off! We can open it up to all guest or just have the bridal party!

Duck Duck Goose, Simon Says, etc.
