Bouquets toss and garter toss - are you in or out?

Considering my bouquet is going to be my chihuahua service dog I for sure am not doing a bouquet toss hahaha! As for the garter both of us are very shy so we wouldnt feel comfortable doing that

Out. We’re skipping these traditions.

I didn't do either. I actually didn't have a bouquet or any flowers at our wedding. I'm not a huge flower person and I mostly just looked at it as an extra cost for something we didn't need..

No for both, our reception is not really structured for it. It's a cocktail style and I just feel like it wouldn't fit.

I rather keep my bouquet (the flowers will be sola) and my FH wont want to be the center of attention and crawl under my skirt lol. We were however contimplating instead to honor the longest married couple somehow, like giving them a bouquet or something nice, instead of singling out the singles.

Pass on the idea. It would be worth it if was a full gay wedding and lots of single guys single.

I know I'm not doing the garter toss but I'm still on the fence about the bouquet. my MOH and another bridesmaid really want me to do it but there's also not a lot of single guests (let alone single females) that it might look weird.

If I do it, I might have all the single peeps (men and women) join in for the toss. I'm also not sure who qualifies as single: anyone who's not engaged/married or is it everyone who's NOT in a relationship?

We did the bouquet toss, I honestly don't remember if the DJ called out the "unmarried" women or just women to the dance floor. I actually encouraged one of our groomsmen to run out there as well so I am sure if anyone got a photo there is this tall guy standing in the middle of all the girls waiting to catch the bouquet lol! I think this tradition can be customized to your personality and don't feel restricted by those "traditions" if you want to do it.

However for the garter - definitely need to be an outgoing person with fun family and friends (at least more outgoing than I am anyway lol) we passed on this one!

View quoted message I was back and forth on doing the whole thing but once it actually came to the day I realized I wasn't comfortable with it. Definitely not for everyone, especially if you have older or modest guests lol

Definitely not. I don’t like the idea of singling out our single friends and making them fight to catch something. And the garter toss is horrifying. I don’t need my DH hanging around under my dress in front of everyone we know.

I don't think we will be doing this. We have very few single individuals coming, so the groups would be small. If it would have been a few more people I think we would have done it, but it would be a battle between 2 people lol

View quoted message Ya i wouldn’t mind that! it’s the whole him going head first under my dress thing that i’m not so cool with hahahahhaha

View quoted message I just gave my husband my toss garter to throw, he didn't take it off me or anything because I thought that would be uncomfortable, especially in front of my dad lol

We did it! It was a lot of fun! I had a specific toss bouquet and garter. We didn't do the whole take the garter off tradition because I wasn't comfortable doing that in front of a few guests, specifically my dad lol
Everyone had a great time with it!

I’m so torn about this one. I think i’ll definitely do the bouquet toss, but i’m really iffy about the garter toss. just seems awkward and unnecessary to me

I’ll be skipping this tradition.

Neither. I am having a verrrry small wedding and this would just be weird 😂

We're doing both - keeping with the tradition.

We will be doing the flower toss- thats the only part.

We won't be doing either one. I haven't decided what to do with my bouquet but I don't think I want it smashed up by getting thrown. And my FH doesn't have that many single friends so I think it would be weird to throw my garter to either a bunch of hitched guys or a group of like 3 people lol. Plus I'd rather he remove it during the later proceedings anyway

We're not, but our wedding is low on tradition and most people there are already married. I have no issue with doing these, but they just aren't for us.

Indeed we will be!!

It's tradition!!! I know others are against it but I don't care, it's simply a thing that is done at weddings - and I'm having a wedding
