bouquet toss question

Our wedding is going to be pretty small, not many single people, so I don't want to embarrass anyone by doing a singles only bouquet or garter toss. Is it okay to include everyone in the toss or is that dumb? Also, I thought it was cute in the movie Made of Honor when she throws her bouquet at the ceremony, just out of the blue as they are leaving during the recessional. Nobody is expecting it so it isn't such a big deal. Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Thanks!
Anniversary

    We are also having a small wedding about 3 single women and like 2 signle men so we decided to just SKIP them all together.

    you can skip it all together (what I did) or you could give it to the couple that has been married the longest. 

    FWIW, My little bro & SIL did this at their wedding (called it an anniversary dance). Had all married couples out on the dance floor, then had anyone who's been married less than 1 day leave the dance floor (my bro & SIL left), then couples who have been married less than 1 yr, 5 yrs, 10 yrs, 15 yrs, etc.  Turned out my SIL grandparents had been married 48 years.  Her grandmother was presented with the bride's bouquet.  I thought it was a very cool way to give away her bouquet without doing a traditional toss.
    no identifiable siggy pictures anymore, thanks a lot stupid nest!

    We also did the anniversary dance and skipped the bouquet and garter tosses. The orginal idea was to give the winners of the anniversary dance the toss bouquet, but my bridesmaids didn't know that and took it apart and put the flowers in their hair haha. I didn't mind, we still did the anniversary dance so I guess my grandparents just got bragging rights.

    We are also going to skip the bouquet/garter toss and do the anniversary dance.  There are very few unattached people attending our wedding and I myself dreaded the bouquet toss at all the weddings I had been to in the past!  We thought we'd spare people the embarrassment and celebrate those who have been happily married instead!  I have heard of the "fortune bouquet", which I thought was kind of cute.  Instead of tossing a solid bouquet, each flower is left loose and each flower has a fortune or good luck blessing attached.  When the bride tosses the bouquet, all of the loose flowers go flying and EVERYONE is able to pick up a flower and have a good luck wish.  Different, but fun!

    I love the anniversary dance idea.  I personally do not want my man up my dress taking my garter in front of people.....thanks, but I'll pass! 

    Does anyone else think the dollar dance is tacky too?
