[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the 1st I have ever heard of a Money Tree for a baby shower.    I know different parts of the country have different norms - I was surprised when I was [b]in the midwest and there was a dollar dance at the wedding[/b], and 50/50 men's bachelor events in upstate NY.

Could it be a cultural thing?

This is definitely a midwestern thing.  I was in a wedding in Wisconsin and they had a dollar dance as well.  Since I was close friends with the bride, I asked her about it and she acted like it was completely normal and was a little surprised that I'd never heard of such a thing.

OP, is the mom-to-be Asian by chance?  I know that in some Asian cultures (Chinese and maybe Japanese) money is given at weddings and for new babies so maybe they are combining Eastern and Western traditions?  We had a traditional "American" wedding as well as a more "Chinese" reception since we are a biracial couple, and all of our Chinese family members handed us envelopes of cash.  Just a thought.[/quote]
