Are you doing one? I dont know if I will or not...going through the list of who i think will come to the wedding there are VERY few single people...More single guys then girls...would it be weird to do a garter toss and not a bouquet toss?
I guess when we get our rsvp's  I'll decide then....

    I'm personally weirded out by a garter toss. I don't like the thought of someone throwing and then other people fighting over a piece of lacy elastic that's probably going to be all sweaty and gross after I've been wearing it for a few hours...but that might be just me lol

    I'm not doing either the garter or the bouquet toss. It's partly for personal reasons and partly for the sake of my friends.

    I've never quite understood why I'd want to wear the garter so that my husband can reach up my dress and then give it to some other guy (In any other situation this would be scandalous!). I also know that many of my single female friends don't want to be pointed out as being single in front of everyone (maybe that's because it's an older single crowd?).

    But, it really isn't important what I want for my wedding - it's YOUR day. I think that if you want to do the bouquet toss at your wedding, you should do it even if there's just one single lady (Oohh, great bouquet toss song - All the Single Ladies!).

    We didn't do either.  As one of the last of my friends to marry, I found the bouquet toss humiliating and degrading to single women.  And I didn't really want my husband reaching up my dress in public.  Also, as mentioned above, we were among the last of our friends to marry, so there weren't many people who were eligible to play.

    We're probably not doing either. We have very few single friends.

    Hate the garter toss. At the last wedding, the DJ had to start to threaten to sniff out the single girls to get us on the floor. I truly don't believe that anyone likes either the garter toss or bouquet toss.

    We are only going to have a few singles at our wedding and it seems silly to take a break from all the dancing and party to toss a bouquet for the two singles at the wedding. 

    And I find it tacky.

    This may be way late but we're doing both. For our guests it doesn't matter if you're single or not, most everyone does either.

    We didnt do the bouquet or garter toss. All we did was the money dance since it's tradition.
