Are you ditching the bouquet toss?

Tossing the bouquet to the single ladies at your reception is a tradition that has been cooling off in recent years, but some people can’t image a wedding without the bouquet toss! Will the bride be throwing the bouquet on your wedding day? Are you saying "I do" to this tradition or ditching it? 💐...

    We are a pretty young couple, and most of the girls in attendance who aren't in our families are single!! We are 100% keeping with tradition and doing the toss!! I've always loved this tradition, and when I was a little girl, it is something I totally looked forward too!!

    The bouquet toss. I don’t like a lot of attention on myself and I feel like all eyes will be on me specifically with nothing else going on in that moment lol

    Hi Macy! Makes perfect sense. Don't stress it too much, there will be so much going on and all your girls will be so excited and by your side, you shouldn't feel the pressure of being on the spotlight at all! Smiley heart

    Ditching. Unnecessary and antiquated. I like the "Anniversary Dance" idea! Couples dance and those with the longest anni are left standing

    Ditching it. I remember being almost trampled when I was little, then crying because I didn’t get it.

    Ditching it! We will literally have two gal guests who are single - all the rest are married. Definitely ditching it.

    I have a few friends that I know LOVE this tradition and have actually gotten into wrestling matches over it, so I decided to keep it for the fun of it. I never participated in them (I even went to a wedding the night before I got engaged and while my FH caught the garder, I refused to even participate in the bouquet toss) but I think with my group of friends it should be fun!

    Ditching it! I enjoyed this tradition as a kid, but as an adult not so much, and it seems a lot of other women feel the same!

    We are totally doing this! I’m one of the first one in my friends to get married and we all went to a wedding recent that ditched a lot of the traditions and there was a lot of comments about this. They were all excited to find out we are doing some of it.

    I will not be throwing a bouquet, I think there will only be 1 single lady there, the rest of my friends are all married couples, so we aren't wasting time doing this.
