Keep or Cancel: Garter Toss?

Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Posted in Wedding Reception 251

I have to confess that I've never actually seen a garter toss in person! But apparently 37% of grooms still participate in this reception tradition! Will this toss tradition make the cut for your wedding? Do you want to keep or cancel this toss tradition? Photo from Red Gate Farms in Savannah, GA...

Do you want to keep or cancel this toss tradition?

    Keep...
    As embarrassing as it is for a few minutes, itll be funny to see who ends up together because of it.

    Absolutely cancel. I really don’t want my husband doing that in front of our friend and family. 🤦‍♀️

    There are multiple reasons why this is not for me. The first being my fiancé come from a highly religious family that would be appalled if we did the traditional garter toss. The second is that as I said in an earlier part of this quiz like thing, is that my fiancé and I are a low public affection couple. We really only hold hands and rarely peck each other on the lips.

    Pretty much all the males at our wedding are in long term relationships, married, or underraged (like 0-6) so we are skipping this tradition! Plus I'm terribly shy haha.

    We are keeping it. Have only been to two weddings that did not have it. I think it is light hearted fun. I will have younger members at my wedding. If one of them catch either the bouquet or the garter we will just have a special gift for them instead of a dance.

    Haven't asked the FH his opinion on this yet, but I vote to cancel. Seems too tacky and awkward.
