I bought mine off amazon.  It was a set and it cost me $10.  This wasn't an item I really wanted to go overboard on.




ETA: since people are talking about garters fitting large thighs, this one is teeny.  I'm fairly small and these are tight.  Elton Bridal is the manufacturer, FYI.

I found a great one on ebay for 8.48 with free shipping.  Sorry no PIP, I don't have it yet.  I'm going to wear one to satisfy the 'something blue.'

I got a set of two very inexpensively from Ebay in my wedding colors.  Here's a pic:



And here's the link to the seller; she has many different colors:

Got mine from www.letsdancegarters.com when they had a sale a few weeks ago :)




We're not doing a toss so I thought I'd get something a little more decorative. It's gorgeous and actually fits perfectly (even my big thighs) :) I considered getting FI's alma mater but decided to save that for some other time.

Finally Married!

LOL on the CUBBIES garter!!! I should get that as well!  I really hate the garter toss event, so we may skip it, however I got one at the card and party outlet store for 75 cents just in case... ;)

I'm making mine.  They cost me $10 for enough material, elastic, and thread to make my toss and keep garters.

I've been debating making mine, especially since I am not planning on needing a toss garter... But, I don't know if I want to add yet another project to the list. I am leaning towards a "prom" garter on the letsdancegarters.com site. We'll see.

Thanks girls! I wanna see more! :)

Since we're not doing the toss, I don't want to pay for it. It just seems unnecessary for me. So I'm not wearing one.

I can't decide if I should wear one or not. Some of those are pretty fancy ladies! I think the toss can be kind of cute. I had hoped someone would get me one at my shower but no luck. Thanks for the Michaels and Etsy tips!
