Bouquet toss with prize?

So my FH and I really want to the bouquet and garter toss. We don’t have a lot of single friends or family. Also I’ve been reading how it’s somewhat looked down upon now and days... but I was thinking of inviting everyone, single or in a relationship, to the floor and whoever catches the bouquet or...
So my FH and I really want to the bouquet and garter toss. We don’t have a lot of single friends or family. Also I’ve been reading how it’s somewhat looked down upon now and days... but I was thinking of inviting everyone, single or in a relationship, to the floor and whoever catches the bouquet or garter would get an amazon gift card or something? That way we can still have the experience and anyone who wants to participate can. Thoughts?

    Ha! Ha! I think I had to do a baton group thing to it at 5, obviously didn't know anything about the song! Bad choice on the part of the adults, imo! Ha! Ha! I'm so glad you found out!! 😊

    We are doing anyone that wants to participate amd I'm making a bouquet of scratch offs and he is sticking a $50 in the garter. We will probably do it the traditional way mostly because my family is pushing me to because I'm so untraditional lol. But knowimg him he will do a song that will make me laugh.... Something from backstreet boys or spice girls. God only knows with him....lol

    I love the idea of the bouquet of scratch offs! We chose goofy songs for ours too. For the bouquet toss we’re doing Wannabe by Spice Girls and Pretty Fly for a White Guy for the garter toss. Gotta have some of our generations music in there!

    Oh my gosh! What were the parents thinking?! It’s sound like it could be done in a cute innocent way but still lol.

    Yess! I definitely think having a prize and really letting anyone participate (although I am not too sure letting small children participate if you are having kids there) I feel like it's more an adult thing. I mean it could be "fun" for little kids but I would try to aim it at an adult hahah! Yeah I never understood the "single" thing cuz I have never been to a wedding that does that. Most of our friends are couples as well anyway Smiley winking

    Yeah I’m thinking about not doing it at all
    because I don’t want him under my dress in front of everyone. Super uncomfortable for both of us. I’ve thought of just taking it off or just having a tossing garter and not even wearing it and giving it to him to toss but I don’t know. Just thinking about skipping it in general since most the single people are in our wedding party and there’s not many of them.

    Instead of having everyone crowd together in hopes of catching something, we are having people write their names on little flags and planting them in the ground. In my family, the hardest part is getting everyone out of their seats to jostle together and fight for catching something. This way, whomever's flag is closest to where the bouquet lands get a prize!

    We did Amazon gift cards and everyone loved it. Most people participated so I think it’s definitely worth doing. It was a lot of fun lol
