No point of a garter if there's no toss?

Jameena, on August 5, 2017 at 11:58 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 49

My sister thinks because I'm not doing a garter toss I don't need a garter *spoiled foot stomp.* I guess I could save the money and not get one, what do you all think?

I thought it would a fun prop for after the wedding, that's just me...

    There's nothing wrong with having a garter with or without a toss. If there's no toss, it'll be a fun surprise for your spouse after the reception! ETA I bought one and wasn't planning a toss. Ended up forgetting it and surprising him with it on our honeymoon. Probably best that way. My legs were sooo sweaty after the wedding that we showered before crashing into bed!

    Wearing one just to show him. But probably will have a set and wear one during the wedding and switch it out before bed.

    I've never seen a garter tossed; I've been in 4 bridal parties and none of the brides have worn garters. If you want one, get one.

    I'm not doing a toss, FH has no idea that I'm going to be wearing one anyways for when we finally get some serious alone time. Smiley winking

    Wear one and get the one of your dreams! This is your wedding and something like a garter no one should get a say on other than you!

    I think itd be nice to still have one. There are many cheap but beautiful garter options out there so it's not like it would hurt your budget to get one

    I don't want an elastic band around my thigh if it's unnecessary. If you like the thought of your husband seeing it on you, put one on when you change into whatever after the wedding.

    I'm not wearing one... I guess i don't really understand what they're for? Just to look sexy? If you want one get one! Eta: I just asked my FH who is sitting next to me and he said he wants me to wear one hahah I guess I will then.

    You can really do whatever you want. We only bought one for the toss. I completely forgot too and H had to run to a store in the mall to get a set. We tossed one and have no idea where the other one is. HaHa! What are you thinking of doing with it after the wedding? If we ever find mine we'll probably just throw it away. I just don't need more stuff.

    For those of you that surprised your spouse. Were they excited about it? I think H would have been like "that's great. There's a piece of lace around your leg" LOL

    I planned for the garter and bouquet toss but had too much fun and forgot. I had planned to put the garter on right before we did the toss. I didn't want to wear it/deal with rubbing all day. I'm not sure what to do with my unopened, unused garter. It's pretty, but in retrospect, kind of a waste of money.

    If you want one, get one.
