I don't know if this has been done, but I am very curious how many people plan on doing the garter toss and the bo-k toss? If you had your wedding, let me know which ones you did.
The last few weddings we have been to didn't have any of them.
If you don't mind, I would also like to hear your reason (ex. we don't have many single people or you think it is corny).
Be honest!
Thanks!

Re: Garter Toss/ Bo-k toss
Not doing either. JMO, but when I was single (for what felt like an eternity) I hated being brought to the middle of the dance floor, I was very passionate about my dislike for this practice, so I'm not subjecting anyone else to it. I have also seen things get ugly where women practically wrestle for the bouquet. However, I have also seen other couples do it and it is adorable. To each his own.

We are not doing it, but we are doing an anniversary dance instead. We have just about zero single friends left and I love the idea of the anniversary dance.

Re: Garter Toss/ Bo-k toss
Thanks ladies!
I am the first person to get married out of my friends, and the first out of all of my cousins.
However, FH is the last out of his friends and towards the end for his famly.

We´re not doing either one. But I´m still wearing a garter and I would like to do an Annviersary Dance and give the couple a bouquet.
(The reasons are mixed. I dont´know how I feel about FH going up my skirt in front of my dad, i think it would really make him uncomfortable. We also don´t really have a lot of singles. I´ve seen issues arise when the garter toss winner has to put the garter on the bouquet toss winner and one of them has a significant other etc etc etc)
ITA We're not doing either. I never like sitting through this at a wedding, and I think it's kinda corny. I would feel really awkward having FH go up my dress in front of family. I am still wearing a garter though, but this is just my opinion

Re: Garter Toss/ Bo-k toss
Haven't even thought of it yet. I'm the first of my immediate group of friends getting married so there will be alot of single girls...I guess I will poll them to see if it's embarrasing or fun for them. I've only been to two weddings and I was never embarrassed to go up there to catch the bouquet but that's just me!
FH doesn't like to be the center of attention so he might not be a fan of fishing for my garter either...

Re: Garter Toss/ Bo-k toss
we had an 11 piece band. i wanted them to just keep playing instead of stopping for the garter and bouquet tossing. worked out VERY well- our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE time!!!
