10 things you don't want to forget about your reception - Will you have a toss-bouquet/garter?

Joey, on April 8, 2019 at 09:31 Posted in Wedding reception 0 30

Have you considered getting a toss-bouquet? This is a smaller, sometimes artificial, replica of a bridal bouquet that is easy to toss and safer to catch (no thorns here!). You can also get toss-garters, a second garter that's usually a little simpler than the one a bride intends to keep. If you're planning to do a bouquet and/or garter toss at your reception, but also want to preserve some keepsakes from your wedding, this is the perfect compromise.

Will you have a toss-bouquet and/or a toss-garter?

    No, my husband wanted to do a garter toss but he thankfully forgot because I forgot my garter.

    Nope. I won't have a bouquet, and I will be wearing a garter but it's staying on.

    Oh no, no, no. I really don't like either of these, so this will not be happening at all.

    I’ll have an extra bouquet for the bouquet toss but definitely no garter toss

    We are doing both the bouquet toss and the garter toss, we just have to pick our songs for them.

    Yes! My garter is a 2 piece (one to keep and one to throw) and I have an extra bridesmaid bouquet to throw!

    We're doing the bouquet toss, but we compromised and I'm going to make a paper flower bouquet because I don't want mine to be ruined haha. If you do one toss, do you have to do both? We both just feel uncomfortable about the garter toss

    Not doing either of these but I think I'll wear a garter for FH's eyes only.

    I’ll likely do the bouquet toss but I’m absolutely not doing a garter toss.

    Smart idea about tossing the maid of honor's bouquet. I might borrow your great idea!

    If I end up doing a bouquet toss, I'll get a throw bouquet or use on of the bridesmaids.

    Not doing the garter toss but I'm wearing a garter for my FH

    Yes we will have a seperate toss bouquet and garter. The toss garter is my something blue so when it get tosses who knows maybe it can be someone else's next time lol I don't think I'm going to wear it my FH will probably just do the toss. My garter came with a tossing one so figured why not!

    We aren't tossing anything. I don't have a garter yet...still unsure if I want to wear one. I am going to look at some this weekend and if anything stands out I will get it but I won't be sad if I don't find one

    No toss garter and I’m not sure about getting a toss bouquet. Maybe!

    We have a toss bouquet.

    And yes I am getting a toss garter. .. I want to wear something nice for him.. plus I don't like the idea of him throwing something I have actually been wearing on my leg all day haha.

    We have not decided if we want to be doing both of these traditions yet.

    If we do, my sister is from Australia and will not be able to keep her flowers. So hers will most likely become the toss bouquet. Then if we do the garter toss I will make sure to buy 2!

    I'm not 100% sure if I'll toss my bouquet, but if I don't I'll give it to someone (maybe a grandma or the couple who's been married the longest). I am a sentimental sap so i want to keep my actual bouquet so I'll make or have made a throwing/giving away bouquet. I'm not sure if we'll throw the garter, but i'll probably pick up a second one anyway just in case.

    I am going to toss the maid of honor's bouquet, and even though we don't plan on doing the garter toss, I did pick up a cheap one for $5 in case he changes his mind Smiley smile

    Oh!!! I totally forgot about that!! If there are any flowers left over then I will but otherwise I'm fine to use one of my BM's bouquets or just ask for my bouquet back I suppose...

    As for a toss-garter... I can't see anybody wanting to keep mine but it's not too expensive so I guess I could.
