    We arent doing one....most of our friends and family are already married except for a few, and I hate when there is like 2 adults and 20 kids out there trying to catch them. Its silly and ridiculous.

    I suppose if we had alot of single friends, I might consider doing one

    We're not doing one.  Maybe if I were a little younger and had more single friends that were younger I would, but I don't want to single them out!

    I don't plan on tossing a bouquet, but my photographer shot a wedding where the bride did a "teddy bear toss" for the little girls. We will have at least ten girls under 12, so I will probably do that :) FI definitely plans on tossing the garter for his single friends. Plus, I think most men like the idea of going up the dress? Or is it just the ones from Texas that use their teeth in front of all the parents and grandparents? Lol

    The teddy bear toss sounds like an awesome idea, i've never heard of that! Although we wont have that many kids either...but its still a great alternative idea!

    I'm not having a bouquet or garter toss. We won't have too many single people there, and the ones that are single are either a) finishing up a divorce from an abusive spouse, or b) a widow/widower. So yeah, kind of in poor taste I think. I won't necessarily miss those traditions either.

    I'm not doing a garter toss. I don't really want to wear one, they look really uncomfortable, however my grandma made me one for my "something blue" so I guess Ill wear it so as not to hurt her feelings... However, even if I do end up wearing it, I don't want to do a garter toss. I think it is embaressing for both the bride and the groom for himm to have to take it off IMO. I don't really understand the gater toss anyway... As for the boquet toss. I agree with some of the other PP's here, it is stupid because it implies that every girl wants to get married, which is not true. Instead, we are doing something called a couples dance. All the married couples get on the dance floor, and then eventaually the only couple standing is the couple that has been married the longest, and they will get the bouquet. :-) I think that is a great way to celebrate marriage.

    I am having a bouquet toss!! Maybe the only one out there?? I love traditions. Plus we are some of the first of our friends to get married. Some of them just got engaged so I guess it just fits our crowd.
    I agree about the kids getting up there and catching it though...I think it looks more like a game when they get involved.

    Abs not!!!

    I think both tosses are the most uncomfortable part of weddings for guests ... one single friend among 12 years olds is what I imagine. The last wedding I went to had one (before I was engaged) -- and it signaled time to go to the restroom. Awful.

    You aren't alone, JoshCourt, we are too.

    I originally didn't want to do one, because I always felt uncomfortable at weddings when they did, but I told my group of girlfriends/BMs and they talked me back into it, so, it's back in. We aren't having children, which I agree, makes it even worse. 

    I think as long as no one is dragging every single person up there and making a big deal out of it, then it's fine.

    However, I 1.) refuse to sit on the BM during the garter toss and 2.) refuse to let my FI pull anything out but the garter from my dress. I don't think it's funny when people do that, I think it's awkward.

    We are having the bouquet toss too >.< I love the tradition and I look forward to seeing who will catch it =) There won't be many kids at the wedding so I am not to anxious about being stampeded of them.

    @Lisa ~ I agree about how the garter thing can easily turn awkard o.o, at least its understood between you both, I'm sure it will go great =)
