I had one, but just because I wanted one. Of course mine also carried a flask, which was wonderful and helped me relax!
@Mrs. DG - and here I thought no one could convince me a garter was a good idea. :P
I'm not doing a garter toss, and most likely wouldn't wear one, if my girlfriend didn't offer hers up as my something borrowed! Do it if you want to, but if you don't care, make it one less thing you have to buy!
There's no way in hell anyone could ever convince me to do the garter toss (this was the ONLY thing I had feelings about as far as weddings go before I started planning my own), but I'm wearing garters because I think they're pretty. I love this seller's: http://www.etsy.com/shop/florriemitton
So if you don't really care for the way garters look, don't wear one. But if you think it would make you feel more 'bridal' and a style catches your eye, why not? As Mrs. DG said, they can be handy for multiple purposes. :P
We didn't do bouquet/garter toss, so I didn't even buy a garter. To me they look uncomfortable too, so yeah I wasn't gonna wear one anyway.
Nothing could have comvinced me to include a bouquet or garter toss. It's just not me, i'll leave it at that. But, I'm still wearing one because I want to. My mother and I are making mine out of lace from her wedding dress. My parents are having their 35th anniversary in June, so hopefully it'll bring me good mojo!
We're not doing a garter toss, but I'll be wearing one as my 'something blue' 
I think you should still have one, its very bridal and plus, it'll be a little suprise for your hubs when he sees it later on in the night in a more, intimate setting... ;)
There is no way in heck I'm doing a garter/boquet toss. That being said, I'm wearing a garter in my sorority colors: double blue and gold.
Do you want a picture of you hiking up your dress to show off the garter? What about a more functional garter belt and thigh highs for the wedding night?
I'm not getting one, all of the pretty garters I've found are too expensive.
Wow the votes are split 50/50!
LOL @Mrs DG, that's a good point that I will have to consider. 
@veganglam: those garters are amazing-- I love them!
Like MissYooper .. I'm not doing the toss, but it's my something blue!!
I personally really dislike garters. I don't don't like the traditional toss but I just dislike the way they look! So I won't be doing the toss or wearing one. But it's totally up to you and just depends on what you like. I think if you're not doing the toss and you dont' really care about them, save the money and do something else with it :)
I voted to wear one anyone. Unless you have something against garters that is! Even thought I am not doing the garter toss, what made me decide to still wear one was our best man and maid of honor. They are married to each other, and we stood for them in their wedding! We were taking about the wedding awhile ago, and he proudly walked into his closet and brought out a cute little box that he used to save her garter in. They also did not do the garter toss, but she wore one in hunting camo (because he’s a huge hunter) and showed it to him after the wedding. He loved it, and kept it and still gets it out to look at it. So I vote yes, because you can still get something out of a garter even if you dont toss it!
I'm wearing a garter but not doing a garter toss. I found a really pretty garter, but if I hadn't come across it, I might not have bothered. At the moment I'm just wondering, if it sits on the thigh won't it be awkward sitting over my suspender straps?
edit - oh hey someone has posted the link to the etsy seller I got mine from, of Florrie Mitton's. I really like it, it came in a nice little box too.
I'm having a regular garter and a toss garter. So yeah, either way I guess I would have one. I just like them though and I'm going to get something to match it for later in the evening ;o) I mean when else can you wear a garter besides prom and your wedding?
Strangely enough, I could kind of care less about the garter toss, but FI is adament about doing it!
I, like so many of you, gave in to my FI on this... He was SO excited about it for some weird reason. (I find it COMPLETELY embarassing. But Ill get over it. At least we'll be married I gues....LOL) Anyway... I decided since Im doing it for him, I may as well make it interesting for him! I bought a Detroit Red Wings Garter set online. I love them! They are pretty AND have the logo he'd notice from ten miles away on it.... Since we've been together, Im almost an avid Wings fan too! So... GO WINGS... and yeay for the Garter toss.... Oh yeah! And, Ive always wanted to wear red shoes, so at least the Garter will match the personal color scheme Ive got goin on. (Our actual colors are Black and White...)
As for you, I say... Do what YOU want! If you dont like the idea of a Garter, come up with some other sentimental item you could wear that he could keep.
I absolutely refuse to do the garter toss, despite the fact that it seems to be one of the traditions eevvvvvvvvvvvveryone in my family LOVES TO DO, simply because it makes me darn uncomfortable and I'm not one to 'keep up with the jones's.'
That being said, my FH has requested that I get one for HIM, haha.
I think it's a sexy little bridal trinket and a sweet, intimate keepsake, so I got one off etsy from this seller:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/PetereneDesign
Also doubles as my "something blue" without having to do anything obvious. ;)
Wear one if you think it's fun, it's no big deal. But you certainly don't need to if you aren't doing a toss.
if you want when then i would get one!
i didn't do a garter toss, but kind of wanted one until i tried it on with my dress. you can see anything under that thing, so i did without. we didn't miss it, and honestly now we have so much wedding crap laying around that i don't know what to do with, so i'm happy for one less thing.
There is no right or wrong. Wear one if you want, but don't feel obligated to if you don't want to wear one. Also, don't let anyone talk you into something you don't want to do, since it's your wedding, not their's.
Eh, it's up to you. They're totally for decorative purposes anyway, even the brides that do toss them. Don't feel obligated to wear one, if you don't, it's just one less thing to worry about :)
I think you should still wear it and just have him take it off of you when you guys are alone.. it can still be fun but between the two of you
I wouldn't go out of my way to make sure I have one, but if you happen to find one that you love then wear one anyway!
Yes, just get it. You'll feel special and sexy hehe. Why not right?
If you're not doing the garter toss and you don't want to wear the garter I think that's perfectly okay.
If you like the idea of wearing a garter, get it. It's cute and fun!
I'm not doing the garter toss either. Because we're trying to save as much money as possible I haven't decided if i'll get one. I probably will if they're not expensive but i'm going to ask some of my friends if I can use theirs as "something borrowed." lol

FI and I decided not to do a garter or bouquet toss. Should I get a garter anyway?? I feel like it's a "bride" thing to do... and when ever will I get to wear one again? I'm torn. What do you bees think?
