Are garters necessary?

We decided not to do bouquet toss and garter toss because almost all our friends are married already. So if no toss then I don't even want to waste time with taking the garter off. I would rather keep people dancing and having fun then take the time to do it. Anyone else skip the garter all...

We decided not to do bouquet toss and garter toss because almost all our friends are married already. So if no toss then I don't even want to waste time with taking the garter off. I would rather keep people dancing and having fun then take the time to do it. Anyone else skip the garter all together? Did you still wear one if you didn't do it? What's the point of it anyways? Thanks in advance!

    Only necessary if you want it. My friend is buying me one as my something blue. We won't be tossing it though

    I don't think I really want to do one. I bought a garter but might return it. It makes me feel a bit awkward to think of friends and family watching while FH goes up my dress.

    ETA: check this article out. I REALLY do not want one now

    There really is no need to wear one if you are not tossing it. I'd skip it. They can be uncomfortable.
