Garter or no garter?

SydsMom, on January 19, 2016 at 10:37 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 25

We have decided not to do the garter toss/ Bouquet toss. Question is... Should I still get a garter? Sounds silly I know, but two people have asked me this week what garter I was getting and showing me stuff FH would like (sports ones). So now I'm not sure what I should do. Thanks.

    I don't believe we're doing a garter toss (I find them awkward,) but I'll be wearing one for FH Smiley winking

    Yeah I won't be tossing mine but it's still cute to have a picture of and to take off later on! you could even have it be blue for your "something blue".

    We won't be doing the tosses either. However, I am considering buying a garter for the same reason I am considering a veil. For FH and for pictures. Although I don't think I want to wear a garter until after the wedding and we have alone time (besides getting ready pictures) because I don't want to worry about it falling down, and it just seems pointless unless it's your something blue.

    No garter toss for us, but I did get a NY Jets garter just as a cute little surprise for FH after the wedding.

    I think garter belts are sexy. I don't think we will be doing a garter toss either but I'm def wearing a garter belt.

    If you want to wear one and think FH will like it, go ahead.

    I got one and then totally forgot to wear it! Didn't realize until later when I was unpacking my bag and found it still in the box.

    I love garters, they're super sexy. I'm not doing a garter toss, but I'm wearing a blinged out one for FH.

    Garter tosses are so creepy. I'll be wearing one for after the reception though!

    We're definitely not tossing any garters or bouquets, and I don't plan on wearing one. You could get one just for your groom, but only if you think he'd like it. Otherwise, I say save your money.

    That's funny, we're skipping the garter toss too and the idea of a garter wasn't even on my radar. I haven't even thought about buying one. I guess it depends on price... It might be nice to wear just for your fiance. Smiley smile

    We didn't do a toss, but I bought a Harley Quinn garter and put it on after the wedding as a surprise for DH. He loves DC comics and our colors were red and black so Harley theme was perfect for the garter. I had meant to wear it all day, but forgot to put it on that morning.

    We aren't doing a toss but I have one. Smiley smile actually I have five. I've been picking them up new in the box here and there from the thrift stores. Smiley smile I have lots of choices.

    We haven't decided if we are doing a garter toss, but FH has requested that I wear one anyways.

    I am wearing one, but definitely no toss. Told my mom this week and she rolled her eyes and huffed about it "being the best thing about a wedding." I was like you've got to be fucking joking right, the best part!? The most hilarious part is she gets visibility uncomfortable when anything remotely sexual is implied between me and FH, but she's totally fine with his head being up my skirt in front of 200 people? Ok mom.
