No Bouquet toss?

I'm not doing one because I find them kind of silly, I want to keep my bouquet, and I think we're only inviting one couple that isn't actually married so I guess that would be more than awkward if I threw it straight at her

It's ok not to do it and you don't really have to replace it with anything. I didn't do one and no one seemed to miss it...or if they did, they didn't say it to me!

I don't have any alternate suggestions, but I am not doing a bouquet toss. I was single for the large, large majority of my adult life and as a single person, I just found it humiliating. It's definitely not required, and I'm sure the 3 single ladies will appreciate not being pointed out.

Our wedding is about the same size and I opted to not do a bouquet toss, I don't even think we have any single ladies attending. As far as an alternative goes, I am not sure, but its definitely worth looking online! If I see anything I can let you know! :-)

Just remember that those 3 ladies may not want to be called out as being the few single people there.

I say this only because I went to a wedding and I was the only single girl, and they went through with it. When I tried to hide they called me out over the mic. It was embarrassing and honestly, depressing.

It is absolutely not required! I want to keep my bouquet so I am buying one of those ridiculously huge flowers from Hobby Lobby to throw.

I would skip it. I'm not doing one, because I think they make people feel awkward. I don't know of any alternatives though.

Not doing one, not replacing it with anything except more booze and dancing

I think they're silly, so we're not doing one. No garter toss either!

We aren't doing a bouquet toss/garter throw either since we don't have very many single friends/family attending our wedding. Instead, we're doing the "anniversary dance" where the DJ calls all the married couples to the dance floor and calls out lengths of time (1 day, 6 months, 1 year, etc.). Any couple who has been married for less than the time called sits until there is the couple who has been married the longest. The winning couple will get the bouquet and a bottle of wine.

I really like the idea of celebrating successful marriages at our wedding rather than focusing on pressuring single people to get married.

I did a non-traditional bouquet toss (got the idea from someone on WW). I tossed the bouquet (got a separate, small one to throw, did not throw mine) to all of the married ladies and then whoever caught it started the open dance floor with her husband. Honestly, they all LOVED it. I didn't want to single out the few ladies at the wedding that were single as I remember very well how it felt to have to stand up there with maybe 4 other people.

For an alternative I have seen brides give each single girl a flower instead of having them all fight for the bouquet.

We are getting 4 smaller bouquets to give to our parents and godparents. Wedding is 40 people and all are married save for my younger brother and his gf. Was thinking anniversary but knew it would be fil's so we thought this was the best alternative.

You don't have to. I've always liked them as I thought it was fun when I was a kid, so I did it

If you only have 3 single ladies, there is a good chance they may feel awkward. Not everyone likes trying to catch the bouquet. It wouldn't be fun if just one lady started walking out! In your case, I"d probably skip it

I didn't, I think its humiliating when there are only a few single ladies.

I also had about 50 guests with only two single ladies present. We just skipped it all together. We considered doing the longest married but didn't because two people were recently widowed so I didn't want to call attention to that either. I like lulu80's idea of tossing to the married ladies!

You could give the bouquet to the woman that's been married the longest? I've heard that as an alternative.

You definitely don't have to, but I'm going to do it. I don't mind being silly!

We aren't doing one!

If you don't want to do it, you could always present it to the couple who has been married longest (always assuming you don't want to keep it for posterity)...
