bouquet toss alternative?

are you doing the traditional bouquet toss, something, different, or neither?

Re: bouquet toss alternative?

  • I'm not sure yet. Probably. I know a lot of people do the anniversary dance and then give the bouquet away to the couple who has been together the longest.

  • We are doing an anniversary dance.  We will have all of the married couples come onto the dance floor and dance to a song and slowly "eliminate" people by length of marriage until the couple with the longest marriage stands. They will get something from us then.

  • yea i just saw the anniversary dance a couple weeks ago at a wedding for the first time and thought it was cute!! thats what got me thinking about it, since i really wont have all that many singles there anyway! i also read where some people give it away to the next couple getting married, which my cousin will be getting married in November so that could work too.
  • We are doing the bouquet toss, most of our friends are single and are looking forward to it.  I was thinking of doing the anniversary dance but decided against it since there are more single people than married people.

  • We aren't doing the bouquet toss because we dont have many single guests. The anniversary dance sounds like such a great alternative! I've never seen that before.

  • We are not doing the bouqet toss and I am still up in the air about the anniversary dance although I do love it!!
  • I want to do the anniversary dance but I'm worried it will make Fi's mom really sad.  Fi & I went to a wedding last night and everyone was really into the bouquet toss and the garter toss.  We dont have a ton of single friends so I think it would end up being like 5 girls up there so I we arent going to do it.

  • I think we are doing an anniversary dance.  Not doing a bouquet or garter toss since we don't have many single guests.

  • I'm doing the traditional bouquet toss.
  • I'm doing the traditional bouquet and garter toss.  We don't have a lot of single friends but I think the ones we do have will enjoy doing it.   We  are also going to do the anniversary dance a friend told us about this and I think it is a great idea.  I can't wait to see who at our wedding has been married he longest.

  • I'm doing a bouquet toss. I thought about doing the anniversary dance but I have a lot of single guests so this works better. I am not doing a garter toss though, I just don't like it.

  • We have very few (like 1-2) guests invited who are single. We are going to do an anniversary dance. I'm not sure if I will give the bouquet to the longest or to a friend who will be celebrating their anniversary that day (40 years!).

  • We are doing the traditional bouquet toss. I have lots of younger single cousins who will enjoy it. Most of my friends are not single, but it should still be fun. 
  • We're doing the traditional bouquet toss, but thankfully our florist is "gifting" me a throw-away bouquet so that I don't have to actually throw my real bouquet!  I don't have TOO many single friends but I still think it'll be fun.
