Polish Wedding Traditions?

I need traditions, not food suggestions (I tried asking this in cultures area and got lists of food to serve). My fiance %26amp; I are both part Polish and I wanted to include some traditions in our wedding and/or reception.


I know about the bread, salt %26amp; wine tradition, but does anyone know of other traditions that are done at Polish weddings or receptions?

There's the Pani Mloda, or money dance, but I think that's tacky, and have never seen it done at weddings, but have googled it,





As for food... I think the best suggestions would come from your Polish relatives... Or even Martha Stewart - who is Polish, and has some great recipes from her mother.





Good luck, and Congratulations!
Reply:The dollar dance is a Polish tradition. The Polish weddings I have been to gave you a shot before you got to dance with the bride or groom.





Polka seems to be pretty popular among the Polish also.





Most other traditions I have seen have been food related.
Reply:Wow, I was seriously thinking about asking that question this morning. I plan to try to add a little something to my wedding that's Polish also, but having a hard time finding stuff online. My dad's 100%, so his family (the majority of our guests) will appriciate the little touches even if it's not a polish ceremony.
Reply:Hello! The chair dance! Where the bride and the groom have to wear a silly hat and then they are hoisted up on the chairs while the people holding them dance around. So funny. And makes for great pictures. My mom and dad did it. Dad had a condom on his hat. Hilarious! Best picture in their wedding album. My fiance isn't down for the tradition, but it will happen. My Polish family won't let it go.
Reply:You can't have a Polish wedding without a lot of beer and vodka, kielbasa and saurkraut (the REAL stuff, not the cheap smoked stuff), pierogies, and lets not forget POLKA!!!!
Reply:There's a tradition at the wedding reception where the bride (and sometimes the groom) dance with the guests when the guests pay a few dollars per dance. This a way to raise money to pay for the reception and also help the couple start their new life.
Reply:Yes.





All the guests are supposed to get good and hammered on Vodka, play plenty of Bobby Vinton and serve Kielbasa and sour Kraut.








Przyjemnego dnia!!!!
