Bouquet Toss for a small wedding?

I'm having a destination wedding in Las Vegas for only 30 guests. I think I should not do one and I think most of our guests are not single, but my in laws are wanting it... What would you do?

    I think bouquet tosses are awkward no matter how many guests you have.

    Thank you! I feel the same way. I don't really want people fighting over flowers in a small reception venue lol.

    Some people do an alternative like give the bouquet to the couple who has been married longest or something

    We invited 285 people and we will be skipping it. Not a fan.

    I agree with this, but also, why would your in-laws even have an opinion about this?? This seems like a very easy thing to eliminate from your reception (no reasonable person will actually miss it). Just change the subject if they bring it up again.

    If you’re an offbeat bride there’s some

    Basically just throwing a plush to symbolize pet adoption. I guess to bring light to a good cause

    I agree with PPs. I'm not doing a bouquet toss for my 180 guests because I've always disliked participating in them, myself. I think they can survive without the bouquet toss. I love the idea of giving a bouquet to the couple that's been together longest. That's a lot more elegant and sweet.

    Love this idea! I haven’t seen it done, but I’m definitely going to steal it.

    It’s adorable! And it won’t put your single friends on the spot! I absolutely adore it.

    That would be cool as an alternative just to be fun and raise awareness for a cause like that

    We're going to be having around 100 guests and we're definitely skipping the bouquet toss. Just feels uncomfortable
