Which side of the bouquet debate are you on? Keep or cancel?

    Cancel. My bridesmaids and I aren't carrying bouquets anyway.

    I don’t think I’m carrying flowers. So cancel.

    Keep. It's cute, and it is totally voluntary. I also am fine with single men and single non-binary folks joining the catch crowd. Smiley smile

    Cancel. I personally find it kind of awkward, we will also not be doing the garter toss.

    Cancel! Not because I hate it but out consideration for my very few single guests that I refuse to put on the spot. I went to a Mormon wedding once where I was one of only two unmarried guests and it was ridiculously embarrassing. I don’t. Want to do that to my single guests so we’re doing the anniversary toss and the couple married the longest will get the toss bouquet.

    Cancel! But I do like watching the awkward garter thing that’s supposed to happen later. Most of my guests will already be married or engaged anyway.

    Ooo I love this idea. My fiancé is a Latter Day Saint so I think this for our sealing reception would be awesome. Thanks for the great idea!

    Cancel. We won't have many single women attending so it's not really worth it.

    Eh. Keep or cancel... i think it depends who’s at the wedding and how many guests you are having.

    Cancel! This tradition is so outdated and ridiculous. I can’t stand it and would never do it.

    I don't think so. Most people attending are in relationships or married.
