    I’m only going to have 2 single women at my wedding, so we probably won’t do this.

    As a single twenty-something, I was never a fan of being called out and having used flowers thrown at me, so we skipped.

    I only have a few “single” girls who will be attending but I still think it will be fun to do so I am throwing a bouquet, but not mine! I have fake flowers that I making a bouquet for it so that whoever catches it can keep it 😊

    Hard pass. Not a fan of singling anyone out and making them feel uncomfortable. We also only had maybe 3 single girls so it was at the top of our ditch list.

    If I do this, I'll probably do it with all of the single people at the wedding, not just the women. I likely won't though because we'll have wooden bouquets and I want to keep mine.

    I honestly don't think we have any single women invited, and even if we did, I wasn't planning on doing a bouquet toss anyway.

    Ditch. I've always hated this.

    I like it, but at the same time we will not have a lot of single girls at the wedding so it might make them feel uncomfortable... So propably not.

    Ditching. I'm not into the concept anyway, and don't know any single women.

    Ditching most of the women there are married or in long term relationships

    Ditching. Most of our guests are already married or in a relationship so it seemed kind of pointless.

    I agree! Every wedding I’ve been to, even though some I had a boyfriend and some didn’t, I’ve never stood up and tried to catch the bouquet. I just find it awkward and no one needs to know my marital status

    We're doing it! My mom made a bouquet special for it. I'm also having the TLC song "No Scrubs" play, it'll be a fun moment!

    I'm with Caytlyn; I was never a fan of being called out for being single, and really I'll only have a handful of ladies. I'll ask them before I make this decision to see how they'd feel about it.
