Bouquet Toss.....ugh dreading it! But need song ideas..

Alina, on May 1, 2012 at 8:46 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 49

I'm dreading the bouquet and garter toss. I just feel like they're kind of awkward and silly. I don't want everyone to see FH with his hands up my skirt. I'm afraid of throwing the bouquet wrong lol. However, it's something FH wants to do so I'm going with it.

At what point in the night should this happen? Did you play a song when throwing the bouquet? I need song ideas! And I don't want Put a Ring On It by Beyonce! Thanks in Advance, ladies!

    We are soooo not doing either. Plus none of my single friends want to catch anything. Mission impossible theme song is good for the garter tho. And i like love is a battlefield for the bouquet.

    We aren't doing it. We are giving the bouquet and garter to the couple that has been married the longest. I didn't want FH going up my dress in front of people I am really kept to myself and already having people watching us all day is frightening enough. I cant seem to handle another awkward activity lol

    I know I don't need to do either of them, but as I said FH really wants them and I feel I've controlled a lot fo the wedding stuff, so I'm giving him this.

    I like the Girls Just Want to Have Fun idea Smiley smile

    Thanks to those who gave song suggestions!

    Not doing either of these (bouqet/garder). I think same as you - awkard and rather unnecessary... but then again, our wedding is only semi-traditional.

    FH wanted to do the garter toss and he chose Nelly "Hot in Herre"

    I chose Beyonce "Single Ladies" But now I'm considering Can't Hurry Love

    I am definitely not doing them, as I hated being called out at weddings when I was single and fighting with a bunch 16 year olds...but...if he is insisting, I'd do something no one would think of, for example for the garter maybe "Good Girls Go Bad"-Cobra Starship, "LoveGame"-Lady Gaga for the garter and if I was doing a bouquet toss I'd do "Wildflower" By the Jane Dear Girls...but I like suprisingly uncoventiaonal Smiley smile

    We're not doing it either BUT I did see some ideas here on WW that I liked if we were doing it, to take the ick factor out of it — like not making it just for single ladies and dudes, attaching gift cards or movie tickets to the garter and bouquet and inviting everyone out to have a go at catching them. That seems like it would be fun!

    For songs, I like some of the above suggestions, or some other fun/funny ones might be: Rod Stewart's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, Eye of the Tiger, Pat Benetar's Hit Me With Your Best Shot, the Village People's Macho Man, ZZ Top's Legs, Elvis Presley's A Little Less Conversation, Kelis's Milkshake, Blondie's One Way Or Another, or the Donnas's Take it Off (my personal favorite!).

    You don't have to do it but if FH wants it I don't know what to tell you.

    We're having "Another one bites the dust" for the garter toss and "Hit me with your best shot" for the garter toss.
