A new way to make money at your wedding

Katherine, on June 4, 2017 at 5:57 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 44

In the process of saving pics from social media to do my non-pro BAM and came across this lovely idea from a wedding one of my friends was in yesterday: they auctioned off the garter and made over $1000. I have never heard of such a thing, but maybe I'm out of the loop on tacky ideas. This is taking dollar dances and cake smashing money jars to a whole new level!

P.S. Between graduation and moving and the wedding, I've been MIA for the last three weeks. Missed you ladies!

    Just no.

    Ew. I would not spend any amount of money on a piece of fabric that has been on a womans leg all day.

    These were my thoughts exactly! I'm so glad we didn't do a garter toss....my legs were rivers of sweat under my ball gown!

    That sounds so awkward! I can't believe people actually bid on it

    I would avoid the people who bid on it, because they'd have to be pretty weird to want it. Especially to spend that much on it.

    This feels like a troll post..... if it isn't, good luck with that.

    Gross. Personally, I don't even understand the garter thing...

    I've heard of this before, not IRL but here on the forum. Yep.

    I can think of so many other way less gross things I'd prefer to spend $1000 on...

    I don't want anyone at my wedding who would pay money for my sweaty underwear.

    Shoulda asked if the Bride's virginity was up for grabs too, sounds like the logical next step

    Why would someone want your garter?
