Let me know!
I'm somewhat hesitant to do this, but think it could be fun. I know T has mentioned to me about it and it would seem he actually wants to do this!
We're planning on doing it, and also planning on having a little fun with it. I'm thinking that FI will pull out a rubber duck, one of those never-ending scarves magicians have up their sleaves, a hair dryer, a shoe, and if possible a hand saw or something.
I am going to do it, but the Fi has already informed me that he is NOT sticking his head under my dress and using his teeth. Dang. :P
I'm wearing a garter (so pretty!) but DEFINITELY not wearing one.
We're doing one because FI wanted to. Otherwise I didn't really care. My sister said it was fun.
I am not going to do it, not sure if I am wearing one actually.
I'm not wearing one and we're not going to do that or the bouquet toss. Most of our friends and family are already married or in relationships so I dont' want to embarrass the small few who are left standing there.
I am not doing the bouquet toss either. I agree with you Jen, I don't want to embarrass the few that are left. We are such good friends!! Ha! =)
I wore one because it was fun to wear but did not do a garter toss. I have to say the garter looked very sexy with my white lace lingerie once my dress came off! My husband definitely liked it.
I'm definitely wearing one- how can I pass up the chance to buy one?! But I don't think we'll be doing the "removal" in public, nor are we doing the toss because by my count we only have 3 single fellas attending! Talk about embarassing!
I want to wear one and the "tossing" one as well for the toss. I want to wear one lower so that he isn't so ...up?,...my dress ...but I am not sure if it would fall off/slide down if it was on lower.
I was planning on just wearing one but definetly not doing the toss. I didn't end up wearing it though (I cut a lot of accessories the day of).
We will not be doing one and I will not be wearing one. We are not doing the bouquet toss either. I just don't feel comfortable having my FI crawling up my gown in front of our family and friends, and for the bouquet toss, I don't feel comfortable picking on all the singles.
I wore one but we totally forgot to do it. I wasn't a big fan of the idea anyway.
we did it, but my husband barely lifted my dress up! me & my family are christians & i had alot of church family there, lol..
We are definitely not going to do the garter toss so I won't be wearing one. Instead of doing the bouquet toss, we are going to have an anniversary dance and give the bouquet to the oldest couple left on the dance floor. I think that will be sweet and better than embarrassing our single friends.
It's so good to hear of your ideas on the subject. I may just tell him we can have a "private" removal of the garter after the wedding is over...winkey winkey!
I'm all about tradition. It's tradition to wear a garter, and it's tradition for your husband to take it off you and toss it. So I'm doing this for sure! It will be fun!
Oh and BTW
It would also be fun to make the girl that caught the bouquet and the guy who caught the garter to dance together, but IDK if I'm doing that.
I'm going to wear a garter but we'll be removing it privately as well :)
Well at my wedding there will seriously be only one or two at max women who aren't married. One is my maid of honor.
I am seriously considering walking over to her and just handing her the bouquet but I don't want to p*ss off her longtime boyfriend (who needs to get a ring!).
Lol bellenga, I wont be doing a garter, I seriously cant be bothered. lol
Omg! This was one of the best parts of my wedding, It was hilarious! I wore 2 garters, and made my hubby take it off with his teeth, I Have pic of all the groomsmen up around him hollering at him and I was just dying laughing in the pictures it looks like some of them are trying to help him get it off, It was sooo funny, I would definetly do it again, Its kinda a tradition in my family anyway, i watched my mom do the same thing at her wedding and always knew i wanted to do it too, 
Absolutely not. To me, it just feels like there's something a little gross about your groom going fishing up your dress in front of all your friends and family.
We are going to! Actually, my FFIL decided that we will! haha! i'm excited for it though! :)
We're not doing it and I'm not wearing one (boo! They're so pretty!). It helps that I'm wearing a short dress and it would look a bit tart-ish if you caught a flash of garter every time I sit down or go up some stairs or something!
We are doing it and making a big production out of it! Playing the Indiana Jones song.... it will be Hilarious!!!!!
Most of our friends are young and we are one of the first to be married and so everyone will love it!!!!!
i am wearing one but not to toss - its for private LOL
i dont want to do a bouquet toss either since its super embarrasing but when i told FH that his face just FELL. so i might do a co-ed bouquet toss- but the bouquet can be made of scratch off lotto tickets LOL
I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one that finds this practice a little gross. I may still let him toss the garter to get at the tradition part, but my FI is by no means going under my dress to get it. It will probably be in his pocket.
Not doing it, and not doing a bouquet toss either. I think it depends on how much of your guest list is still single- for us, almost everyone is married and I know how much I hated the part where "allllllllllllllll the single ladies, gather on the dance floor for the bouquet toss!" when I WAS single.
But if you think it would be fun, then go for it! :)
@thefuturemrsgibbs.......only issue with that is it totally depends on who catches the garter and the bouquet, last wedding i went to, they were brother and sister!!!
I couldn't do it, and my husband wasn't to keen on the idea, either. To each their own on this one, but it was definitely not something I found at all cute or amusing, so opted to not to the garder and bouquet toss. I didn't wear a garder, either. Just had no desire to, but a private removal later on sounds a lot more exciting to me than doing it in front of all your guests :)
Just sayin'.
I'll be wearing one, and hopefully he'll be removing it with his teeth - but not at the reception!
I didn't want to do it, but when I told Mr. Holiday he just looked crestfallen so I relented and spent months picking one out.
I hope he appreciates the time and effort that went into this and that he doesn't flash me to the whole city of Seattle! He thinks we should have the "Thong Song" on while it happens! So far, I've successfully ignored this request.
lol men
Definitely not- this was a no-brainer for us. I think it is a really bizarre tradition in the first place- and just not appropriate in front of family and our priests.
I'm also not doing the bouquet toss because I have been single at weddings and I HATE when other people do them. I always avoid it like the plague. I understand why it's fun when you are younger, but when you get into your 30s, I don't think it's very nice to make a spectacle of your single girlfriends like that.
We're not doing the tosses, because I find the tradition a little icky (to ME, not in general, mostly because I was dragged around too many times as a single and it was really embarrassing for me), and because I can count the number of singles that will be at our wedding on one hand.
I do HAVE a garter, however (got it free with my first dress purchase), so I don't know - I might wear it just for tradition's sake and let FI go for it in private. That's a good idea, @bellenga! :)
