Oh my god, no. I'm not modest or conservative by any means, but this just feels so cliche and gross. Instead we have discussed doing the Shoe Game or something similar.

We are ditching both! They are just awkward. I'm not even buying a garter.

Ditching. We are "older". But if you're young and most of your friends are single it's still a fun tradition.

We are ditching both the garter and bouquet toss. This is because FH and I are both the youngest in our families so everyone is already married and these activities are usually for the guests who are single men and woman. Therefore, we are skipping because we wouldn't have anyone to catch them.

Probably will ditch it! I find it super weird and awkward to insinuate something like that at a wedding. But to those that do, more power to them!
