Wedding traditions..

Takking my own private poll...

Are you brides and your FH's doing the flower and garter toss?

Are you going to party with the BP or friends after the reception.. or is it straight to the airport off on the HM?

Is anybody not having the rehearsal dinner the night before the Wedding?


For me and my FW, I think we may not do the toss because there may not be too many singles there.. (maybe I'm being way too darn sensitive.. but I hated being single at Weddings.. LOL.... seriously)

We definitely want to see our friends and the BP before we leave for the HM.. We'll also do brunch with them too the morning after.

And we kinda want to space things out .. the reheharsal dinner and Wedding. It's a lot to do in a 24 hour period.. and there's no rush since all the people who will be at the rehearsal dinner will already be in town.

Looking forward to hearing your responses.

Have a wonderful Wedding Day to you all.
God bless ya all!

Yes we did the bouquet and garter toss, although we didnt have so many single people but it was something that DH & I wanted to do

Nope after the reception we went to the hotel and had our own party.

Our rehersal dinner was 1 week before the wedding

We are doing the flower toss, no garter(this it looks too weird to do in front of parents.)
After the reception, it is off to our hotel to consumate our marriage then off to the airport the next day to go to our HM. We are having a rehearsal dinner the night before, right after rehearsal at the church. Everyone will already be in the wedding spirit and already together.

We're going to try to do the bouquet toss/garter toss and the anniversary dance. we want to do it all since it's our only shot to do it!

we're getting married early in the day - so we'll be all done witht he wedding at 5:30....so we're going back to the hotel with all of our guests afterwards and hanging out there...i'm really looking forward to it becaue it'll be a lot of people i havent' seen in a while.

and we're having our rehearsal dinner on a thursday night with the wedding the saturday after.....because we're getting married at the hall and they can't do rehearsals on friday nights.

i love old traditions and i like to tart new ones too!!!

we are doing the boquet and garter toss--our guy friends are animals! It'll be a sight to see!!

AFter the party ends (at 5pm) we want to go to Applebees in our clothes and take some pics there because that is where it all started. We also want to party with our friends a little bit and then go back to the hotel. We have to be at JFK at 5:30am the next day for our 7:30 flight

ETA Our RD is the night before at 4pm, not sure if we are doing an actual rehersal at the hall.

Hi.
We plan on doing the garter toss and all because we have a lot of single family members and friends.

Most likely will we party with close friends and BP, because we like to party and we will have OOT guests.

We plan on having the RD two weeks before because I don't think I can juggle so many things the day before especially with having OOT.

Hopes this helps.

We are definitely not doing anything that requires interrupting the party...so we won't do the garter, bo-K or the cake (other than take some pictures off to the side)

We are having a 1-6 Sat wedding - so we plan on all going out after. We probably won't leave for the HM until Monday.

We have to do the rehearsal dinner Friday night b/c alot of people are from out of town.

Yes we are doing the flower and garter toss.

No we're not going to party with the BP afterwards. Our reception ends at midnight and we want to have our own party. We leave for Greece the next evening.

Our wedding is on a Sunday, so we'd like to do the rehearsal dinner on Friday. But it all depends on the Church's schedule. We may have to do it on Thursday. I wouldn't want to do the rehearsal the night before the wedding either. I want to relax the day before (well at least try anyway )

We're not doing the bouquet or garter toss- I've found most single people don't like to be herded into the middle of the dance floor and shown off to be single!! I always hated it. I'm giving my grandmother my bouquet instead.
We're going to go back to the hotel and continue the party in the lounge after the reception. We're not leaving until Monday- we want the next day to spend w/ our families and recover!!
We're doing to rehearsal dinner the Saturday before our wedding so the night before the wedding we can spend together and with our families before we both go to our parents house to sleep.

We are not doing the bouquet/garter toss, like Sreidy said I think most people dont like it and I know I used to hate it!
We are going back to the hotel afterwards (rec ends at midnight) to party with our friends and BP, many are OOTers so we want to see as much as possible of them!
We are doing our Rehersal the night before because most of my BM are OOTers so thats the only way for them to be included! Plus I like it that way makes the wedding a weekend event not just a one day thing!

We are not going to do the bouquet and garter toss. As for after the reception, it will be over at 9:00 pm so we might do something afterward.
We are not doing a rehearsal dinner, our ceremony and reception are at the same place, so its really not necessary.

No garter/bo-k because of lack of singles (I will say I never minded it and actually liked catching the bo-k!!!).

Rehearsal dinner is the night before because of people travelling in.

I assume we will hang out after the wedding (since we & some of our guests will be staying at the site overnight). My mother is also hosting a brunch teh next morning and it's also our niece's communion the next day, so we may stop by the party. We don't leave on our HM until the next day.

No we are not doing the boo-k and garter toss. We are having our parents wedding songs played, having them dance to them and then presenting our moms with a boo-k and our dads with a garter.

We are going home to have our own private party after the wedding since we are getting married on a Sat and leaving for our HM on Mon.

We are not having our RD the night before our wedding. We are having two weeks before. We could not have it the week before because it is 9/11 and the church is already booked for a 9/11 anniversary mass.

There will be no tossing of anything! Safety Hazard!

We are having the rehersal the night before b/c 3/4 Bridal party are OOT.Not sure yet about tradiational dances, includign out firsit dance. It may just be more like a dinner party.
We will do the traditonal cake part.


If we can get enough tiem off work, we aren't goigg to leave right away. Reception ends Midnight on Saturday of Columbus day wekend, we will probabaly leave Monday or Tuesday, after OOT guests leave.

Will probably not see Bidal party after reception, since it is late. Maybe in the morning we will do a brunch or something.

ETA:

we are doing the rehearsal the night before, but not sure abotu rehearsal dinner, since it wouldn't be untill after 8. Considering pre-rehearsal dinner, and coffe afterwards at my mom's house.

we'r doing the toss....

were not partying with bp after.. we'll be ending late at night, then its our time

i think our rehersal is on friday, so dinner would be that day then...

We're going to do the bouquet and garter toss - call-me traditional !!

After the reception - going home and in the morning we fly out for our Honeymoon

As for the rehersal dinner we didn't make any plans yet, but most likely it won't be the day before the wedding.

We will probably do flower toss, not sure about garter toss, haven't talked about it yet...

After wedding, we are heading straight home or to a hotel, depending on when we leave for HM to celebrate

I don't believe we're having a RD at all, we might go out to dinner two nights before, but most likely not the night before, since our wedding is on a Sunday afternoon and I have to be up around 6 to get hair done
