    Ditching. We aren't having many young people at our reception, and I think the tradition is a little dated.

    Maybe? I'm on the fence. The majority of our friends/family are already married/engaged, and I just dont think many people will want to participate.

    Ditch-no point in calling out who is single

    Skip. I never liked being singled out to catch it.

    It's a no for me. We're not going to have many single people there anyway, but I've just never been a fan of this

    Still thinking about doing this one. We are not doing the garter thing, so the bouquet toss might look out of place. I believe I may just give the bouquet to my choice of special lady at the reception (married or not).

    I will have my own personal bouquet which I will not be tossing and then I will have a throw away bouquet that I will toss.

    Only a few single girls attending, so no. Besides, I hated being that “single” girl once at a wedding and everyone called me out to go try and catch.

    Ditching. It feels really outdated and awkward to me.

    Haven't decided on this. Once I get a better idea of our guest list then I'll be able to decide. I already have an extra bouquet so definitely could if it works out that way.

    We passed, as we only had like 3 single people at our wedding. But I would have, if we had a bigger group/more single people! Smiley smile

    Do! This is just something fun to do at a wedding. Even if you don't have a lot of "single" women at your wedding, it's still fun and most people enjoy watching this tradition. I did a bouquet toss at my wedding. For those women who do go out to catch the bouquet, it can be very fun for them too.

    I didn't even think about the fact that I have no single friends or family members . . . I made a toss bouquet, but I really don't think we have more than like 5 or 6 single guests of all of our 110 guests.
