Bouquet/Garter Toss - Are you doing this?

Oh this is the half of the fun at weddings! I caught the bouquet at my friends wedding in December and my man proposed to me in March! So fun! =)

And yes... it is happening at my wedding!

And the garter toss is happening too! So much fun and so what if it is corny? Have fun! You only live once!

I haven't decided about the bouquet toss yet, but I know we won't be having a garter toss. I too think it's just too... inappropriate for a wedding. And corny.

And I'm totally not making a judgement on anyone who is/wants to do this. it's up to you! it's just not me, so that's why we're not doing it.

I am doing it! I think its only awkward depending on the family and friends. I have a wild bunch and I know they will join in!

We aren't doing either. I always hated being forced to do it and having friends getting mad when I didn't try to catch the bouquet. To me it's a waste of time that no one wants to participate in anyway. I think people only go along to not upset the bride and groom. I don't think guests will be bummed if you don't do it.

I'm def doing it. I agree with Stevie, it depends on the type of people at your wedding. We are having the guy who catches it put it on the girl who catches the flowers to the song, Lets get it on. It will be funny. ALSO. We are going to have a snorkle taped under the chair I sit on and FH is going to put his head actually in my dress and then come out with a snorkle mask on his face. Who wouldn't laugh at that?

No.

I'm definitely not doing it. We're doing a fairly small event, and most of my girl friends are married or engaged. He'll have more guy friends there who aren't in relationships, but to be honest, they wouldn't participate in the garter toss anyway.

And I know some people have a blast with the creative ways guys fetch the garter, but I'm just way too shy.

I caught the bouquet at my cousins wedding in sept. and got engaged in january

i am doing both! i think it all depends on the type of wedding you have and the crowd that will be there. most of our guests are single and in their mid-20's so there would be people that would want to participate. but if your guests are mostly married couples with a few singles then it might be awkward for the single people.

We didn't have alot of single people at our wedding, so our tosses where for anyone that wanted to be 'lucky in love' Kids love participating in the tosses and I would of never heard the end of it if the nieces never got a chance to catch the bouquet. So, any gal that wanted to be 'lucky in love' was asked to come up and participate in the bouqeut toss, same with the garter for the guys.

No I try to avoid the bouquet..ya it would be awesome to catch it, but sorry I'm not all about some strange guy getting the garter from me..and they make you get up there even if you aren't married yet but are in a committed relationship..i think even if you are engaged. Sorry. no..I'm also not about everyone watching my FH get the garter off my leg, I mean it's not like I'm super conservative, just I dunno it would be awkward for me personally..although I do find it funny when others do it..but I'm planning instead on dedicating/giving my bouquet to my grandma and giving a short speech on how much she means to me :-) I think that's more heartfelt than the bouquet toss.

We wont be doing it simply because it would be my brother and my female cousin in the single club. Everyone else wouldnt participate so it would be awkward lol

I am still debating whether or not to do this as well. I would like to because it is traditional but my FH said taking off the garter would make him uncomfortable.

Amber H that is a hilarious idea! Maybe if I suggest doing something silly like that it would make him feel better about doing it because it would be more funny than "sexy".

We're not doing. Second wedding for both and mostly everyone is married, so it will be empty on the dancefloor when the emcee says "all the single men join us on the dancefloor".

Yeah, its all in good fun, plus. He's going up your leg to your knee... unless we're in 1930, I don't think its a really big deal. Ours is 18 and older too.

We aren't going to do it. It's just a tradition that doesn't really mean anything to us. And LOL @ Devine! Exactly what alcohol is for!!!!

We're definitely doing it!!!!

I have to admit that if I had to dance with a total stranger to "Let's Get It On" in front of a bunch of random people, I would die of shame. Literally die. My heart would stop, I'd stroke out, and perhaps my innards would cave in. And I'm really hammy and hard to embarrass.

I don't like the tosses and didn't do either of them at my wedding. If they were totally voluntary, it would be one thing. But every wedding has that busybody relative who runs around dragging people onto the floor and badgering them into participating. So if there's a way to find and muzzle (or sit on) the family busybody, go ahead and do it. Otherwise I think it's kinder to your friends to give it a pass.

We don't have enough single people to do either. But I agree with people that its embarrassing for the single people.

We're def doing both because I want to and because we will have a wild crowd that will love to.

I agree with Shannon S. on both accounts. And I think a possible way around that busybody is to utilize your DJ/emcee to simply "please remember both activities are optional and you're not required to come up." etc.

Its completely up to you about what you want to do.

we are doing it fh didnt want to do the garter one but i love that part. i remember being a kid at my aunts wedding and asking my mom what my uncle was doing lol.

alot of our friends are single. i think i only have 2 people who are not single under the age of 35
