That is a good point I didn't immediately think of, Kristin. That is time that you could be boogie-ing to!

Definitely ditching! I won’t be ditching the garter completely, however. I’m thinking of getting this crystal leaf one on Etsy.

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. There isnt enough single people to make it worthwhile.

Probably yes. I've seen to many near fights at weddings over it. Men getting mad when their girl is being touched by some other dude, women getting mad when their guy is getting to friendly...if we do toss one, there won't be the show of the one catching the bouquet and the guy catching the garter doing anything....

Definitely not! I don't want my groom to go up my dress after spending some time dancing

This is adorable, Clarissa! Dainty and delicate, but still sexy. Wow, okay, I didn't want to wear a garter, but I will if it's like this one. How did you find it?

Ew. I don't know about you, Gennifer, but I feel like that would be sweat central for both parties. Yuck.

Skipping both the garter and bouquet toss. I find them so uncomfortable and weird!

Definitely no garter toss. No need to show that during our reception!

Definitely not doing this. I would be extremely uncomfortable, and it just seems like such an awkward tradition to me!

We are ditching the tossing of the bouquet but my FH is very much looking forward to taking the garter off haha. So we will be incorporating that somehow but still may not toss it.

Ditching it. I’d feel so incredibly awkward during the retrieval process. It’s just weird & gross to me.
