Garter Toss: Are you keeping or skipping?

The garter toss seems to be a hot button topic these days! Brides/Grooms, are you including this tradition in your reception, modifying it, or skipping? For our wedding we decided to skip the removal and my husband just tossed a separate one we bought (that I didn’t wear) that was Houston Astros...

For our wedding we decided to skip the removal and my husband just tossed a separate one we bought (that I didn’t wear) that was Houston Astros themed because we are big fans!

    Skip. Seems odd to have my FH all up under my dress fishing out a garter with his teeth in front of our parents.

    No garter toss. Its awkward and kinda gross. But I do want to do a bouquet toss.

    We have decided to skip that and we will instead do a lock and key game where we place some goodies in a box and place a lock on it, everyone gets a key and whoever has the right key keeps the goodies inside. I was thinking about doing a blindfold bouquet game where we would wrap string around the bouquet and all the women would walk around me holding a piece of string. I would then cut each string until it gets to the last person but we decided to stick with the box game instead.

    I might skip that as we have little kids as guest as well.

    I plan on having two myself. I want to keep the tradition going with the tossing of the garter/flowers.
