How many of you guys are doing the garter thing? Is that popular anymore? Im not sure if I want to do it. Sometimes i've seen it done and i thought it was just very 'trashy', for lack of a better word, and tasteless. I guess that depends on how you want it done.

Re: Garter???
I am doing the garter thing.
The girls that don't like this..some of them are doing a couples dance...where they do a last man standing sort of thing...the couple that has been their the longest gets the bouquet and the garter, or a gift set..I thought that was cute.

My sis did something like that for her wedding. Its cute but im trying to think of soemthing different. But if you do that do you still throw the bo-k.....b/c thats the best part!!

Re: Garter???
Here's how I feel about the garter bo-k thing... OK, you toss the bo-k and the whore of the party picks it up.. GREAT.. then you do the garter toss and the 8 year old son of one of the guests picks it up.. EVEN BETTER.. and then the whole putting in on the bo-k girl goes on your video and you have to watch it OVER and OVER again for the rest of your life bc it's now PERMANENTLY on your video!!
I am a big NO to the bo-k/garter toss!! Not happening at my wedding!!

Re: Garter???
FI and I just had this conversation.....we're def doing the garter/bo-k toss thing. We have a lot of crazy friends so it should be very interesting and there isn't going to be anyone there who is too young, so the whole 8 year old boy/whore pair up probably won't happen. Although, the whole dirty old man/whore pair up may happen!
If you don't want to do that, then I've seen where they invite all married couples up to dance and then the DJ starts 'if you've been married less than 5 years, sit down......then less than 10 years, etc' until they get to the couple who has been married the longest who are the only ones still dancing and they get the bo-k.

Re: Garter???
FH just had an awesome idea! Have all married couples stand at their seats. Then have the couples who have been married the longest sit down slowly. Then the last 5 or so couples standing will be married the shortest time. They will come to the dance floor for a 'newlyweds' game. We'll do about 5 questions and whoever wins gets the garter bo-k and bottle of champagne and we tell them to have their own garter fun at home! I thought it was cute and different.

Re: Garter???
we are doing the bo-k toss, but not the garter. I'm not interested in the garter thing and FH would die if I made him do it, so out it goes.

What a cute idea!
We're not doing the garter/bo-kay toss. We're doing the anniversary dance.
