Weddingbee boards

I am filipina too and all the weddings I attended include the "money dance" and it's just a fun way of contributing to the couple's future together.  What makes it fun is pinning the dollars on the couple so that's how we've usually done it instead of having your MOH & Best man collect the money, it's more light-hearted and fun to pin onto the clothing.  You have your guest line up, all the men on one side to dance with the bride and all the women lined up to dance with the groom.  So I would change the collection part and when guests see how this tradition is fun then guests would probably wouldn't be offended by it.  What you do is also, explain ahead of time to your family and friends about how its a tradition on many cultures to do the "money or dollar dance".  

At some weddings, they have the pins in a cute little pin cushion or pillow on each table, then you can have a little note attached to it.  you should also have your MC annouced it and give a little background on what it is.  and say,

"The Sayaw ng Pera is a Filipino wedding tradition that gives the guests the opportunity to offer their wishes and contribute to starting off the newlyweds in future together.  Guests who wish to dance with the bride or groom are welcome to use the pins.  A long dance is considered good luck for a long marriage. Thank you!" 

 Hope this helps! =) good luck! My FI isn't filipino but I explained to him what it is and I'm not putting any note but I'll have our MC just annouce it when it happens to let guests know what's going on. Usually when you have the guests that know about the tradition they will take the lead on starting it off and others will follow if they choose to.
