Finish The Sentence: We’re definitely skipping _____.

Honestly we're skipping a lot of things. We're skipping when the officiant asks if anyone objects to the marriage. We're skipping the receiving line. We're skipping favours (we're writing cards to each guest instead). We keep saying that it's our day and to screw traditions we hate

Bouquet toss and garter toss

View quoted message

Same with the garter toss. I told my FH that there was no way in heck that he was going to take my undergarments off in public and then give them to one of his (or worse MY) relatives ugh gross 🤢

We're also forgoing ring exchange because my engagement ring is so stunning on it's own, and I can't justify buying another expensive ring that compliments it. I will give FH his ring during first look, and then we will do something else.

The garter toss! It's awful and I don't want to take part in it.

Skipping receiving line/visiting tables.
My mom is mortified and has fought us tooth and nail. But with 300+ guests, a LOT of whose are my parents, we don't love the idea of people lining up to meet us like we are B list celebrities. By the time the reception comes around we just want to let loose! If someone is important enough to us, we will make the time for them. If they are important enough for my parents to invite, they can greet them themselves and we will thank them via handwritten card in the mail. Not to sound spoiled, but as no only daughter getting married in a traditional family, my mom has gotten a lot of say in our day. SO, Sorry, not sorry!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

The garter toss tradition needs to be thrown in the trash. So cringe! Same with bouquet toss, its outdated. Skipping the favours and likely going to do a charity donation instead.

We're definitely skipping : the favours, the cake, the garter/bouquet toss, the wedding party.

We're definitely skipping the wedding cake favors - sorry we both find them gross.

We're definitely skipping the garter toss. My fiance wanted to but I told him how awkward I think it would be. And that there won't be too many single people at the wedding. One of the only single people he could think of was my brother and my brother catching my garter just didn't seem right to me.

We're definitely skipping the garter toss. Both myself and FH, like it sounds a lot of people here have posted, is cringey and awkward for the bride, groom, and everyone watching. Not sure about the bouquet toss though.

Real flowers and a lot of flower in the decor. The only flowers were are using are fake and for the bouquets.

Welcome basket for guests. It's just too much work to create it for 100 or so people (and a lot of money!)

Garter toss and bouquet toss, also cake cutting!

The garter toss! No thanks! I also wanted to skip cake altogether, but I'm having a surprise one made for my fiance since we're getting married on his birthday.

We're definitely skipping the not seeing the bride until the aisle! We will not only be in the same bad the night before our wedding but we will be doing a first look photo op so we can get all the immediate family pictures out of the way

The garter toss, such a weird and gross tradition

We're definitely skipping the garter toss.

The bouquet and garter tosses are the big ones.

Garter toss and favors (donation in lieu).

The garter toss!

We’re definitely skipping the garter toss. i find it so cringey!

Bouquet and garter toss. Just a small cutting cake for photos (but that might get cut too). Parent dances: my parents aren't around, so we may do mother-son & FFIL-FDIL dances instead. Still deciding, but we may skip the head table entirely and sit at a round with his parents, my aunt and uncle, MOH & spouse and BM & spouse.

The garter toss! No thank you

A wedding ceremony, cake cutting, the bouquet toss and garter toss.

Cake cutting, bouquet and garter tosses

We are skipping all speeches except for ours to thank everyone. We are not doing a bouquet toss, instead I will be giving the bouquet to the couple married the longest which will be my grandparents. As for the garter toss, I haven’t come up with an alternative, I just know I don’t want to be sitting in that chair....

Skipping the bouquet and garter toss I hate that as a single person. Not doing any of the church stuff. Only doing first dance no father/daughter son/mother stuff

The wedding party and Bride/groom introduction into the reception

So many things; the wedding cake, speeches, the arch, dances, garter/bouquet toss.

We're skipping the

flowers/bouquets

wedding arch

decorator

We’re skipping the traditional day after party that is popular in Polish culture. I just find it repetitive and tedious seeing the same people you just saw for the last few days again when everyone is tired and probably hungover.

we’re going on our honeymoon right away instead!

We're definitely skipping most traditions
- No guests
- No invitations
- No reception (just dinner out)
- No pre-wedding parties
- No cake
- No gifts
- No drama!!!

Bouquet and garter tosses! We're also skipping a balanced wedding party and only girls on my side/boys on FH's side.

We are for sure skipping to bouquet toss and garter toss. Not enough single people in the crowd to take up good dancing time to do it.
