Why two garters...?

Charlotte T., on July 27, 2011 at 5:23 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

Okay, so I keep seeing garters in sets. I get that one is intended as a toss garter that whoever catches it gets to keep. But do you wear both? Does hubby remove the pretty fancy one and just have the toss one in his pocket for after? What is done with the pretty fancy one once it's removed?

Thanks in advance. Obviously I'm lost.

    I dont know about wearing both but the point of the fancy once is to keep it as a keepsake

    I've heard that you wear both, with the toss one underneath the pretty one. Hubby removes the more plain one, tosses it, and then later he can remove the pretty one when you two are alone Smiley smile But seriously, then you just keep the other one as chuwana says. Or if you don't want to keep your garter, then just get one and toss it.

    I am wearing both and FH will have the instruction to only remove the toss one and throw that one. The pretty one will stay on me.....at least until he removes it later.

    One to wear one to throw- so the creeps dont come up to you and talk about the garter that was on your leg and how they kept it!

    Yeah it's one to toss and one to keep. I will definitely be having two. It's kind of like having a bouquet and a "toss bouquet"...I'm having both as well.

    I had two. I wore both. I had hubby grab the smaller one that was lower on my leg to toss and I kept the fancier one, which is now in my wedding shadow box. I have my garter set posted here: http://genevieveswedding.blogspot.com/2010/12/details-garters.html

    I get that one is to toss and one is to keep... I was more so confused on the schematics of how it all works.

    Thanks to everyone who answered my questions Smiley smile

    Yes I had two one the simple one and the other little fancier. I kept the simple one for toss and wore the fancy garter.

    I bought my garters from:
