Alternative to garter toss?

If we would have gone with the april 1st date we would have done a rubber chicken lol

We did not do a garter or bouquet toss. Instead, we did an anniversary dance. The couple who had been married the longest got our “toss” bouquet.

You can just skip the garter toss and throw the bouquet. No one will miss the garter

You really don't have to replace the garter toss with anything. Many people just skip it.

We are doing the Bouquet toss only.
Want to try to do something for the guys- play off of “Harry Potter” somehow- maybe toss a “Golden Snitch” for him??

The garter toss seems to be a dying tradition. Many brides still toss the bouquet and skip the garter. That's the way we are going to do it!

We skipped the garter & bouquet toss. Both seem tacky & outdated to us. Can you skip both?

I recently read an article about this. Apparently it's becoming less and less used and is being phased out, and so is the tossing of the bouquet.

We won't be doing either but we're not having a traditional wedding. And besides, my bouquet will be fake flowers. Nobody will want them anyway, lol.

You can always skip the garter toss. As others said, it won't be missed.

We are just skipping the garter toss!

View Quoted Comment This is exactly what we did too!

I've seen a ton of people skip garter toss

I'm also skipping both the bouquet toss and garter toss!

Just take it out. We won't be doing it and if anyone asks, I'll tell them that I won't be throwing any of my undergarments into the crowd, thank you very much.

Skip them both. It's really not kind to call attention to the marital or non-marital situations of your guests (which is why you should also skip the anniversary dance which, just to being with, discriminates against every gay couple among your guests).

I did a gender neutral bouquet toss. Anyone not married could participate. And actually a lot of older people got in on it! It was a huge hit! My brother ended up catching the bouquet and then did a victory lap with it. His girlfriend laughed her butt off!!

I would tend to agree with you about the anniversary dance discriminating, BUT I also have a friend who's been with his now husband for longer than marriage was "legal" and he always goes by their "original" anniversary in these situations. It's not like they're checking certificates ya know? I think it depends on the wedding and the people in attendance. Plus you can call it a "couples" dance and make it have nothing to do with marriage if you want to. You can do anything!
