Catch the bouquet...yes or no??

No, people will be angry. You are already engaged...it's another girls turn.

Haha nah, probably not.

I went to a wedding last month (a few weeks after I got engaged) and I was soooo happy I didn't have to go out there and wrestle someone for the bouquet. Now is your time to sit back and enjoy!

Lol no, restrain yourself.

I always hated the bouquet toss when I was single, that's when I would go hide at the bar.

Kris why in the world would you hide?? Its so fun!!

When I went to FH cousin wedding I stayed seated I never liked that part anyway....FH didn't go for the garter toss either he kept saying I'm already engaged even though people were like so...you ain't married yet!

Im with kris...best time for a drink is the bouquet toss....haha

Humm mixed views on this on the one hand I say of course you can catch the wedding bouquet. Who knows if the engagement will lead to marriage. Not saying yours won't though Amanda. Just a thought. And 2 The engaged woman should not try. She is already spoken for and committed. The purpose of the bouquet is to see who will be the next to become engaged or spoken for! For the sake of all in fun, the engaged woman should cheer for her single friends from the sidelines.

See I guess I'm 50 50 on this one. LOL

I always hated bouquet toss lol. But everyone has their own opinions! When I went to a wedding last summer the DJ actually said "singe ladies come on out here, even if you are dating, engaged, come on up!" I thought it was a little strange, and only the single women went up, so I didn't. I would say, sit this one out. Go to the bar for a drink instead!

Last year I had to be apart of it because I wasn't married yet even though I was engaged.

I didn't try very hard before I was engaged. i wasn't engaged at my brother's wedding and one of my cousins and I just sort of hung back.

I would say play it by ear. If you see other engaged going up, do it. If the DJ or MC who announces the bouquet toss says something or if someone calls you up, do it. Sometimes at weddings, especially if there aren't a lot of single ladies, the DJ will actually say things like, "If you only have one ring on your left hand, you're still technically single."

I actually hadn't thought of this but I'm hoping my engaged friends will join in the fun because otherwise I think there may only be 3 or 4 girls trying to catch the bouquet! And if any of them are the type to run for the bar during the bouquet toss, I'm going to end up tossing it to an empty space! LOL - I really wanna toss it!

Well it looks like I will be visiting the bar!!

@Kat, my DJ told us not to toss the bouquet if we don't have a lot of single girls since it will look weird. I am not doing it, but that is just personal preference.

We may forgo both the bouquet toss and garter toss because I am one of the last of my friends to get married. Honestly, it will be four cousins, my MOH and one of my BM's. For the garter it would be one of my friends and my then 6 year old cousin.

OMG I always hated the bouquet toss. It's like a scarlet letter. "S" for single. I stayed single for most of my 20s and I was so not interested in getting married, I can't tell you how many times I answered really dumb questions from extended family members or "friends" at weddings like, "So when are you coming out of the closet? Hardyharhar" or "You're moving cross-country! When will you have time to have children?" or "Don't you want to be married like your cousin Suzy?" (who is now twice divorced, I might add.)

Also just practically speaking, while all the ladies are on the dance floor there are fewer people at the bar ordering schmancy mixed drinks and the line moves faster so I can get my whiskey without waiting 20 minutes.

The *only* time I've ever willingly gone up there was one wedding where there were only 3 girls and the bride looked really sad about it. The thing came at me and I ducked.

I had a coworker upset that I am not tossing a bouquet rather doing the anniversary dance. I always hated the bouquet Ross. I'm with kris, barkeep give me another!

I'd say no if you're engaged.

However after seeing that post about the awkward pictures and the guys photobombing the bouquet toss - maybe it's time for a lady to photobomb the garter toss

KM - That's a good point but, dammit, I've always wanted to toss the bouquet!

My BFF and I had a funny idea that she could just walk up and I would hand it to her (she is pretty much the only one of my friends left who isn't married, engaged or even dating anyone). But now that I think of it, FH has a couple of cousins who are single so if they're in attendance, that wouldn't be fair to them to just hand it to my friend.

I like Tami's idea of inviting everyone to catch it...I just want to be able to toss it. What can I say, it's a secret dream of mine! LOL

OK I just counted 13 single ladies on my guest list. So if they all come to the wedding AND they all participate, I think I'm good. LOL

Also, I always wanted to do the anniversary dance but FH's parents are divorced and all of our remaining grandparents are widdowed so I think it would actually be in poor taste for us to do it...but I love the idea!
