Bouquet/Garter Toss

shannonemcd · July 2012

Are you ladies doing this? FI and I were thinking about tossing both at the same time and skip the whole everyone watching him search for the garter under my dress. I just didn't know if tossing both at the same time would confuse people since I've never actually seen it done before, it just sounded like a good idea in my head. TIA!

We're skipping it. I always hated being called out as a "single lady" at weddings, so I didn't want to do it at my own, and there will be only a few unmarried men, so a garter toss seemed unnecssary. I've been at several weddings recently where it wasn't done, and I didn't even realize it until after.

We're doing separate tosses. We haven't quite worked out a way to do the garter toss that won't involve searching under the dress - I'm hoping to severely limit it or eliminate it all together. I don't particularly care to watch it when other couples do it and I'd be extremely uncomfortable to have that done in front of our families.

I think tossing both might be a bit confusing, unless you stood facing each other with the ladies behind you and the guys behind him.

Im still up in the air about it. Im not real thrilled about the garter toss.....were not going to have that many single people at the wedding. I like the idea of doing them at the same time...however....I like a lot of things that are non-traditional. You've got my wheels turning now too

I haven't really thought about it much. I made my garter, but I don't know if I'll have a tossing bouquet. If we do, I think I'll inch the garter down so there's not too much up the dress time. We also don't have a ton of single people but since both of my brothers are next up, I still think it would be fun for their girlfriends and my younger cousins to get out there!

I bought both the keep and toss garter...although, we arent sure yet. FI is very shy. He said yes we are doing it...but we will see as we get closer to wedding day.

I am planning on it, but I think this will also be a decision that comes closer to the wedding day.

skipping both

We're not doing the garter toss. It makes me uncomfortable watching other couples do it (my brother and SIL practically got pornographic) so I certainly don't want to do it in front of my family and friends.

I'm debating between doing the traditional bouquet toss and presenting my bouquet to FI's BM's fiance since they're the next ones that will be in attendance at the wedding to get married.

We are not doing it. We are thinking about doing an anniversary dance and giving the toss bouquet to the couple who have been married the longest.

I like this idea!!

We're skipping the whole toss thing.

just doing the bouquet toss. not okay with having my FI under my skirt in front of our grandparents

had26 · July 2012

We aren't doing either. I'm not even wearing a garter. The only thing we are really doing is the anniversary dance (along with the first dance and parents dance). I want my wedding to be all dancing with no interruptions. This is mostly selfish. I will be shaking my booty all night!!!

music11 · July 2012

We are not doing either. I'm wearing a garter, but no tossing will take place

Might present the bouquet to my grandma, not sure yet.

cokie216 · July 2012

Not doing garter and I'm still up in the air about the bouquet. Funny story, I went to a friend's wedding and his dad caught the garter and his aunt (dad'd sister) caught the bouquet.... needless to say the traditional became a bit uncomfortable

But it was funny.

Blambert01022010 · July 2012

I wanted to do it, but FI doesn't want to do garter toss. He gets embarrassed easy,so we have been trying to come up with ways he doesn't have to go under my dress. For example, maybe I could wear it a little lower, with my foot on a chair and pull my dress up some? I don't know lol we are still debating on that one.

As for the bouquet toss, we are do that.

I really like this idea! We are doing both, but I don't want to spend too much time on it, also I'm not comfortable with the whole removing the garter in front of all those people (I'm very shy).
