The Garter toss now aways is like the boquet toss but for the gentlemen. While the groom takes the garter off the brides leg all the gents stand up and catch the garter that's thrown by the groom!

Boquet toas originated in ancient England. And also was a symbol for good luck and fortune. Again like the garter toss whoever catch the bride's Boquet will be the next one to get married!
Will you be including the garter toss and Boquet toss? We will be having both of them for our wedding! My garter is blue to also act as my something blue too!

    We did neither for our wedding. In the last few years, fewer weddings I've attended included the bouquet toss. I've only ever been to two weddings in my lifetime that did the garter toss.

    We are choosing not to throw the bouquet or garter. I am not comfortable with him going up my dress in front of family/future family and it's just not something my fiancee would do. We are both older, his second marriage - so the majority of people who will be there are married or have no interest in being married again (lol), and so it won't even be missed. I will just give my bouquet away Smiley smile

    We've decided against both of these traditions. I will still be wearing a garter since it's my something blue.

    Will you be including a boquet and garter toss? 1
