Do I really need 2 garters?!

I don't understand what the person who catches it is suppose to do with it. I'm only buying one (FH favorite team and its a surprise) and plan to give whoever catches it a $10 gift card and keep the garter for ourselves. I haven't decided what to do with it yet. Maybe a shadow box.

I bought a set. One to keep and one to toss. I'm saving a lot of things from my wedding. I'm buying and old foot locker, to put everything in, so one day my children and grandchildren will have a neat box of momentos to go through. I don't have any tangible items belonging to my grandmothers who are no longer here, i want my granchildren to have things of mine from such a special day. I'm a sentimental fool though

If you don't want it then don't get it.

I bought one garter, not a set, just one. We didn't do a garter toss. I still have mine, but like you said it just sits in a drawer not being looked at. I might bring it out one day if I want to wear it for my husband.

If I didn't need a something blue I wouldn't have bought it.

You NEED very few things for a wedding. If you don't want something don't get it. Simple as that.

I'm not a very sentimental person when it comes to tangible items. But, I can see the value in it for someone else. It could be my daughter's something borrowed. I'm not doing the whole "something..." but my daughter(s) might want to. I like the idea of giving a gift card instead of letting them keep it. Perhaps I'll do that and I will keep a box of wedding stuff.

I'm super into "no-clutter" so we're just getting one. I'm not one who is big for momentos. If you don't care about having it to save, then just get one. You don't NEED a second. It's really more of a personal choice thing

I had two for my first wedding. One to keep, and one to toss. 10 years later, I ended up throwing it out. Prior to that, and had sat in a box. I'm not doing it this time

I am only wearing one that's kinda cheap for the toss. I don't see the need to keep one.

You don't need it, of course. Especially if you are not sentimental. I plan to use mine in getting ready pictures, and then display it in a shadow box after the wedding. I'm having my bouquet preserved so I'm not sure if I'll put it in a shadow box with my bouquet, or in a separate shadow box with my invitation, and other momentos.

I made two out of fabric I had from the dress. One FH is going to put on his rear view mirror the other is to toss.

I have a shadowbox design that I want to incorporate it into.
