    Skipping it. Not enough single men and also not our style.

    Nope- it's almost all family as gusts so that would have been so weird.

    I agree with this! If a garter toss is not your style, skip it! Plenty of brides choose to just toss the bouquet! Smiley smile

    No way, we skipped this. It grosses me out and makes me cringe when I see it at weddings.

    There's definitely enough single men to do this so we MAY do it? If we do, we are going to keep it light-hearted and classy. FH wouldn't be going head first under my dress because all my loved ones don't need to see that lol. I'd be placing my garter at my knee so it's not hiked up really high too. I think it can be made fun and not awkward and sexual so we'll see!

    Nay! A. Not having him go up my dress. B. Daytime wedding. C. No single men hardly, no need!

    We aren't going to do a traditional garter toss but we will be doing something like it. 😉

    Same as the bouquet toss, most of our guests are either going to be young or married so we won't be doing this one either.

    No way, it weirds me out that he'd be going up my dress in front of parents and grandparents

    I'm undecided if we'll do this. On one hand I'm afraid we'll both be so awkward and on the the other I don't think that many single guys will be at our wedding

    I think they can be really fun and light-hearted, which makes it less awkward, and sometimes really funny! Smiley smile

    FH and his groomsmen all played football in high school so when he goes up my dress he will find a football with the garter around it.

    I think some guests really get a good laugh out of watching the garter toss! It's all about reading your audience and selling the experience! Smiley laugh
