2 garters? What is the 2nd one for?

You keep one, you toss one!

Yup, your FH keeps one to hang on the rear view mirror of his car and then the other one is tossed to a lucky single guy!

Lynzey, I never new the story behind that. Makes sense.

Do brides even wear stockings anymore?? LOL when my BFF got married 3 yrs ago, her mom was mortified that she wasn't wearing stockings! It was so "improper" haha

LOL @ HisMrs, no one wears stockings anymore!

@HisMrs - I wear stockings... However, even corporations are loosening their requirements on wearing them. They even let us wear peep toe shoes (only two toes showing though) GASP!

Edit: FYI - I'm 23 years old. Not a grandma and not really old-fashioned either

I know one is for the toss and one is for a keepsake but I can’t imagine the guy that catches it actually taking it home… haha. I can see him being like “here guys, I don’t want this,” maybe it’s just my group of friends and family.

Ohhhh this almost my exact garter...this was my something blue and tiffany blue is one of my accents. Here is mine...waiting impatiently It should be here between tomorrow and early next wk

But yes, using mine as that: 1.) Keepsake (IDK about hubby putting it in his car though, lol) and 2.) to toss.

Stockings are rarely seen these days for sure...so my mind never even conceptualized that being the reason, lol. However, for the style we chose it doest have the elastic rubber as the "crinkly" lacy ones. More so designed to fit. When you order, she will ask for a thigh measurement of where you want to wear it.

PurpleSun:I do too sometimes.When I need to show a little leg and my legs don't want to be shown. LOL (like early spring when when no sun has touched me for 6 months!)

I just ordered mine as part of my Etsy shopping spree today! It's a surprise for FH - I think he will def. keep his ;-)

Yeah IDK about him putting on the rearview either because he drives a company truck for a rather large company in our area..and we share 1 truck. Lol

So how are you deciding which one to wear and which one to throw? They are both pretty. I don't know how to pick between the 2. lol

Right Lindsay W!! My guys won't want it either!

Normally you toss the less decorated one - which it looks like your bottom one is, but yours are both so pretty you could keep either!

@PurpleSun - your comment reminded me that I once turned down a job offer that would have required me to wear stockings - even during the AZ summers! The recruiter asked, "Didn't you notice all the women who interviewed you had stocking on?" I had - I thought it was just a coincidence...and a fashion faux pas for the woman wearing reinforced toes with sandals. She couldn't believe that was my reason for passing on the job!

Yup, toss the second one, normally smaller and less decorated. Here's mine- its very similar! I just got them the other day in the mail, so cute!!

So do you wear both of them during the ceremony?

You wear both and your FH takes one off so he can toss it to the singe men.. Then after the wedding he can take the other one off in a sexy way lol..

These are mine. One is to toss and other other one is a keepsake. You wear both of them.

We didn't do the toss and are naturally frugal. So we got one set of two garters. NotFroofy wore one, and I wore the other. They were our "something blue."

I'm having two garters...one is my grandmother's (my something old and borrowed) and the other is new and the NEW one will be the one that is thrown...

@2d thats a smart Idea

@cassie thats awesome...i don't think my mom or grandma still have theirs...I'm gonna ask my mom though! I like that idea.

Like everyone has said, one is to keep and one is to throw...my problem is that I really love mine so much that I don't want to throw either. FH says that I should just get a cheap one to throw and keep both of the others, lol
