Bouquet toss....out dated?

We aren't doing garter or bouquet toss. I personally think it's out dated and I'm just not a fan.

We decided not to do it. Also so refreshing to hear we are not the only ones not doing those tosses.

I would never. Nor do I ever participate. HOWEVER, one of our friend's did "Move Bitch" by Luda and I thought it was very clever and HILARIOUS. It kind of made light of the whole ordeal and made it a bit more tolerable to watch lol

I skipped both. There's no reason for either one, and I've always found them a little awkward, so I knew I'd feel extra awkward if I had to be the one to throw it. The garter toss is especially cringe-worthy, and it's even worse now that I know the origin of the tradition.

We're not doing them either. I think they're both awkward.

I find them to be incredibly tacky. I cringe every time I see one on TV or in person. PASS.

We are skipping both!

FH seems to want both. So we may compromise. At weddings I've never been annoyed with them. And at the last wedding we went to, I caught the bouquet and he caught the garter. I will probably always remember that. Now we are next. But on the other hand.... we no longer have to do them and i am okay with that. I will still enjoy watching them.

I love Shoe games. Esp if I know the couple. But from this sub, I see a majority of people don't.

I probably won't. A lot of my guests are married so no point there.

I skipped both

We are not tossing anything. We are very against it and feel it's not necessary...that and my grandpa will be there! It's up to you if you want to but you can always pass on it.

We also don't intend on doing any games (shoe game) or dances for money; we want to keep things simple and classy and focus on our guests having a great time.

We are not going to do it. We're a bit older and hardly anyone at our wedding will be single, apart from a few of his teenage nieces and nephews. It doesn't seem appropriate, and I always hated being forced to participate in those things when I would go to weddings.

I'm also wondering what the shoe game is - doesn't sound NSFW so guess I will google it.

We are skipping both. I'm just not a fan, especially of the garter. FH and I were at a wedding where the bride was hounding people to get on the dance for for both. She threw a complete hissing fit when FH wouldn't go up for the garter toss and still mentions it on FB. I don't want to make my guests uncomfortable at all.

We skipped both. Only one single BM mentioned her disappointment, but I gave her my bouquet and she was happy.

I plan on asking my bridesmaids and invited female friends. If there is interest in it I'll do it, but if the majority aren't interested or it makes them uncomfortable I'll skip it.

I definitely think you can do the bouquet toss but not the garter and itll be okay!

IF you do a bouquet toss, most people buy a second bouquet to toss. So if you don't do it, you save some money on your floral costs.

We didn't do either. They seemed like outdated traditions that just wasted time that could otherwise be spent drinking and mingling and dancing! I also didn't like it when I had to be one of the guests at a wedding to "try" and catch the bouquet (before I was married obvi). It was just awkward.

I think we're skipping both. Definitely a no to the garter. Still slightly on the fence about bouquet.

We aren't doing it. Not a ton of single ladies in the crowd and I hated participating after I was over the age of 10 or so, so I didn't want to force it on anyone. I'm not against it in general but it's just not right for me at my wedding.

We are doing both I have been trying to think of a fun way to give away the bouquet.
