Are any of you doing....

garter and/or bouquet toss? Planning my wedding in my head when I was younger, this is always something I thought I would do. But we went to four weddings this past summer and none of them did it. Is it no longer common? What do you ladies think? Are you doing this at your wedding? I'm on the fence right now.

This. I mean, my friends won't want to participate in it anyway, so why bother? I think as you get a little older, it starts to look forced as well.

I'm not doing it. I want a garter just to wear one, though.

I'm not doing either.. For some reason, I am just not a fan of it and none of our friends are really single so I don't think many people would even participate.
I am still wearing a garter though.

I'm not doing it but all the weddings I've been to as a guest have done it...so its still common to do, I'm just choosing not to.

We aren't doing it. Most of our friends are married. Plus, we really don't want to do it. Were giving my grandma the bouquet though!

This. We did a single or basically single count last night and the numbers just weren't there...

We are not doing them, but I am wearing a garter and my 'throw away' bouquet will go to the female who has been married the longest at the anniversary dance.
