Should i do a garter toss?

We are skipping both, never really liked those "traditions" especially the garter toss. Just what I want my guests to see, my husband head first under my dress to get the garter. . .there is nothing you HAVE to do, it's all about what you WANT to do.

We're skipping both. Garter tosses are very uncommon here in Australia, thankfully - I think they're very uncomfortable and awkward for all concerned.

I might have done a bouquet toss if I was a lot younger, but I'm 36 and one of the last of our guests to get married (that actually wants to, of course - Many of our friends are in long term committed relationships and have no interest in getting married, but they're not single, so it's kind of offensive and seems to almost imply their relationship isn't a 'proper' one unless they're married.) Then, the very few who remain who actually are single.... like you say, it's an uncomfortable position to be in. And the older you are, the more awkward it is to be dragged up there in front of everyone and forced to participate.

I think Alyssa's friends suggestion of whoever catching the bouquet getting luck and health in the next year is kind of lovely though!

The other thing you could do, is include some other kinds of tradition or activity (like the shoe game or similar) and so people don't even have time to notice that you're not doing the garter toss

We are cutting both. Most of the people there are married or in a committed relationship, so I don't see the point in it.

I'll be doing both - only because my fiancé and I both WANT to - no ones pressuring us. Do what YOU want! I've never seen the guys run away - but I also don't think I would be upset if they did. But again, everyone is different so do what YOU want girl!! Every wedding is different and it should be to the liking of the bride and groom!

Agreed! We are skipping both. I am getting married at 34 and my circle of friends are mostly married. I'd hate to put those one or two single friends on the spot-- weddings can be a lonely place when you are single.

But if I were younger or had a large group of single friends, I would totally do it.

We skipped both. We had a small wedding -- only 20 people. One of my sisters was the only single lady and the only single "men" were our nephews who are 5 and 14. LOL! No one missed it. It's really your decision -- and whatever choice you make about the bouquet and garter tosses is just fine!

This 100%. We are skipping as well. No need to have our closest family and friends watching my new husband crawl up my skirt.
