asking couples who have been married less than 5 years, 10 years, etc to exit
the dance floor until the couple who has been married the longest is remaining
on the dance floor with the bride and groom. The bride will then dance with the
man who has been married the longs and present him with the garter. The groom
will dance with the woman who has been married the longest and present her with
the bouquet. Here are some suggestions for the anniversary dance:

money for the bride and groom to help with starting their new lives together. A
great way to do the money dance and have the opportunity to talk to some of your
guests one-on-one is to have a money dance to all slow songs. The bride, groom,
best man, and maid of honor will come out to the dance floor. The best man will
collect the money for the groom and the maid of honor will collect the money for
the bride. The DJ or MC will explain the money dance and encourage guests to
bring their money up and dance with either/or the bride and groom. The DJ or MC
should explain this is the opportunity for the bride and groom to talk
one-on-one with each of their guests as they come to dance with you. The best
man and maid of honor are responsible for telling each person in line when to
cut-in. The best man and maid of honor should allow approximately 1 minute per
person. Any slow song will work during the money dance.
