The Garter & Bouquet Toss: Into It or Over It?

    Over it as well. My florist is giving us a free bouquet for the bouquet toss so I'm deciding what to do. I have seen a suggestion is to have every woman come out for the toss so its not meant to call attention just to single people. I have never been into it at other weddings though! Not sure what to do

    I feel like because it's like tradition that I should be into it, but at the same time the garter toss does creep me out a bit. So.... Split between into and over it

    Over both! the "toss" is cute, but the aftermath is just akward!!! we aren't doing it, but that also is because we have maybe like 5 single friends between us!

    Garter toss is gross. Bouquet toss is fine but I don’t care who participates...single or married.

    I’m indifferent. It doesn’t bother me ond way or the other..I will say howevef that at the recent weddings I’ve been to the women are more excited to catch the bouquet than the men are to catch the garter. Idk if this is aomething we will do.

    Bouquet toss absolutely! The garter is a bold move, so IDK about that. It's really intimate, so people may be uncomfortable.

    Over it. We didn't do it at our wedding.

    Unless there are a ton of guests on the younger side (early 20s) and mostly single, it's a weird thing to do.

    Over it! However, I am having a bouquet toss for all women and the lucky lady will receive a great bottle of wine and two wine glasses. No garter toss but a bow tie toss and the lucky man with receive a bottle liquor and two glasses. Just a little fun on my big day!!!!

    Over it. Garter toss is creepy: I do not need my husband getting under my dress and taking my undergarment off and throwing it to a group of men. I think the bouquet toss puts a lot of pressure on single women.

    Over both. The garter has an ick factor to it. And instead of the bouquet toss, I plan on giving the bouquet to the guest couple that has been together the longest

    Definitely not into this, definitely not doing this. I am however wearing my Mom's garter to keep the family tradition going. It's also my something old, borrowed and blue.

    I've never really been into garter and bouquet toss traditions. I find the history of the practice fascinating, but I think I am over it.
