Anniversary Dance or Bouquet toss +/- Garter

FH doesn't want to throw a garter :(
So I either toss my bouquet or have the anniversary dance.

I'm actually thinking that if I toss the bouquet , girls will be too shy to get up there - and I'll be standing there like 'duh'.

How do these anniversary dances go over?

Our guests LOVED it and had never seen something like this before. We had a bottle of wine and a bo'q for the longest married couple. I found it to be very classy.

Any time I've been to a wedding...the Anniversary Dance goes over very well.
I personally cannot stand the Bouquet Toss/Garter Toss.

They Always go over well, its such a joyous event too for the couple still standing!!
Are you having a church ceremony? If so why dont you toss your bouquet there if you really want to throw it, my stepsister inlaw did and I heard it was pretty neat- I missed the church couldnt get out of work.

But I would have loved to have seen something like that!

Went over great! Try to figure out who it might be ahead of time, we knew we had three couples married the same amount of years (grandparents, 2 great aunt/uncles) so I had three bouquets made for them--they were thrilled!!!!

Re: Anniversary Dance or Bouquet toss +/- Garter

Personally I hate the anniversary dance. I have gone to several weddings and it seams stupid to be dragged on the dance floor to just be kicked off in seconds. And four of the weddings were my FHs family, and of course it was the same couple all of the time..... Even if I only have a few single females, I would rather throw my BoK
