Bouquet toss....out dated?

My FH and I have been contemplating the same thing. I almost want to do it, only because it's not common any more.

We are not doing either. Most of our guests are either married, engaged, or in lomg term relationships. We don't have very many truly single guests. Also, no one needs to see FH up my dress. Its just not our personalities. So we are skipping both. I doubt anyone will miss them. Plus it leaves more time for dancing, eating, and drinking!!

I think so. Garter is even worse. I'd skip both, most of my couples are.

We're not doing the tosses. We're opting for the shoe game instead. Skipping them is Aok.

I'm happily doing both. Getting married is once in a lifetime and I want to make sure I experience my wedding to the fullest. So I will be sticking to tradition the most I can.

We're not doing either. Neither of us like the origins of the garter toss so that was out. We started research the origins of the bouq toss, and found it's very similar. Between that and most of our guests being married, we're forgoing both.

Most of the weddings I've been to as an adult have skipped the bouquet toss. I'm skipping that and the garter toss. As I used to tell my date at weddings, "I don't believe in leaving my important life decisions to an inanimate object and someone who can't throw."

We are doing both, when am I ever going to get a chance to throw a bouquet at my own wedding?? Never, so why not do it. We are doing the shoe game and the bouquet and garter toss, they each take less than 5 mins each (maybe not the shoe game, but we'll see).

We aren't doing either. from other discussion threads I have seen, it does not seem that common, although some people still do, one or both.

I think it is up to you. But you certainly don't have to do either one if you don't want to.

Oh god don't do it. I thought it was a fun idea and everyone would love it and it was so awkward. My best friend got the ring charm (cake pull instead of toss) and my creepy af cousin caught the garter. I felt so bad for her. She was so skeeved out and I just regretted doing it. Passssss!!!!

We did it and everyone enjoyed it, but a lot of people skip it, which is totally fine! Your choice!

I'm not doing it! FH is all about tradition, but I convinced him to skip this one. I don't think anyone will miss it and I don't need to make anyone uncomfortable - I do want to do the shoe game and maybe something else interactive with the guests

I'd skip both. I would want to keep that sucker.

But I'd also skip the shoe game Chelsey; it really stops the action and I personally feel it's a little awkward.

Dancing, great food and conversation will cover you!

Almost everyone attending ours is already attached, both men and women, so either toss would probably be a little awkward! We decided to skip them and have more time for mingling and dancing, it suits our crowd more appropriately.

I know that I have over a year until my wedding to change my mind but both my FH and I are pretty old school and we both think the boquet and garter toss are fun.

FH and I are skipping both but it's your preference. My mom and FMIL aren't going to happy about it but they will live.

Im skipping both for no particular reason other than I don't want to.

We did both and everyone loved both. I think you can do the garter in a classy way and not have the grooms head up inside your dress that is trashy to me. We also did the shoe game and everyone laughed a lot. It didn't change anything about the atmosphere of our wedding. Our dance floor was full all night and the alcohol was flowing. Best night ever.

We are doing both but FH will NOT be burrowing under the dress, I will have my garter down around my ankle and he will carefully reach under and remove it. I have a football he will be putting the garter on and throwing it to his guys.

We did garter but not bouquet. I gave my bouquet to H Grandma who had just celebrated her 69th wedding anniversary. I just got up there and said "instead of doing a bouquet toss, I would like to present my bouquet to Nicks Grandma". She was so shocked. Everyone thought it was really sweet.
