Definitely not the garter toss, I think it is awkward.

Bouquet toss, not sure yet, I might just keep it for my self or I might have all ladies and girls have a chance to get it. No matter if they are single or not. I always hated when the single girls had to go out there and catch the bouquet, I always felt akward.

We haven't decided this yet. I think FI's a little uncomfortable with the whole thing so I'll leave it up to him. We may do the anniversary dance instead.

Re: To toss or not to toss???

I really don't want to do either. I'm really not a fan of the garter toss either. I think FH wants it - but I'm not for it. As for the bouquet toss - I think I want to try and keep mine...so we'll see.

Re: To toss or not to toss???

not doing either. i hated being 'single' and having to get hauled up there for the bo-k toss and personally, i find the garter things a bit distasteful.

Re: To toss or not to toss???

Definitely will be tossing both. It's tradition and something I've always looked forward to

Re: To toss or not to toss???

We didn't do it. I presented my mother with my bouquet.
My mom did so much for me through out my wedding and
they tend to think that mothers get left out. She was so
HAPPY. She started crying.

Re: To toss or not to toss???

I'm not tossing either, just because I don't want someone that I don't really know to be highlighted at the wedding. If I could guarantee that someone close to me would catch it, then maybe...but it never usually works out that way (at least in my experience).

I am going to give the bokay to my MOH. I know she'll appreciate it more.

Re: To toss or not to toss???

I had no desire to do the garter. I did the boquet toss b/c I was the first of my friends to get married so there were a bunch of girls to catch it. The florist made a small throw away bouquet for the the tossing. My friends had fun with it. Once the toss was over, we went back to dancing.

I'm not doing any of that tradional stuff... all of my friends are married except one and she's dating someone.. and the garter thing embarrasses me!!!

Re: To toss or not to toss???

I am going to toss the bouqet.....well, not my actual one the 'toss' one that the florist provides. As for the garter, I will toss that too. I have a blue garter as my 'something blue', so I bought a Yankee novelty garter that we can give away at the toss.

Re: To toss or not to toss???

we are tossing both, but they are not putting the garter on the bouq catcher... I will dance with the garter catcher and fh will dance with the bouq catcher

Re: To toss or not to toss???

We don't really like the raunchiness of the garter toss so we're not doing it. But I'll toss my BoK!!

Re: To toss or not to toss???

Re: To toss or not to toss???

We did both. But it worked because all of our friends are single and my DH has a lot of cute brothers...

There are pictures in my review...it was awesome and honestly everyone loved it (my dad still talks about my DH's 'moves' while going for the garter! )
