I know. Two posts in one day. Want to get this out there though. Bouquet toss at the wedding reception?
NOT!
They were fun in our 20's but seriously? Most of our friends are either married or engaged.
So, that would leave like 5 of my friends standing out in the middle of the dance floor feeling stupid.
Yep... can you tell I've been there before?
Plus.. several of them have simply asked me not to do it for that reason. It's just embarassing.
Thoughts? Feedback?
No garter toss either..

We didn't do either of those. Your wedding, your way.
We did have Mr. Potts share a dance with his grandmother - we were going to have his grandmother & grandfather dance together, but his grandfather passed away right after we got engaged.
Totally agree - appropriate in your 20's but not at our age. We got married 11 years ago (I was 23)and did it. They didn't do it at the wedding we were at this weekend (she's our age) and I agree with her decision (and yours too)!
I don't think it has much to do with age. It has more to do with your guests and if there will only be 5 single ladies and a couple are asking you not to do it then maybe don't do it. But it is your wedding so you have the right to tell them to shut it and get out there and fight for the bouquet...if that is what you want. And make them do it to the Single Ladies song...that would be fabulous! I tossed mine to Rocky Top...just because.
yeah...i cringe when there is only a few girls out there to catch the bouquet. the bride obviously wanted it but didn't think it through when all her young cousins and family members were out there.
i think i mentioned this before but my friend did toss a bouquet and announced that all women should get out there to catch it. and shen she tossed it, it was actually three or four small bouquets and i caught one! and she came up to me saying it was for prosperity (or something like that) so you can come up with a few meanings for each bouquet..maybe attach a cute tag to the bouquet. or you can do it last minute based on who caught it! ;)
I am not a fan of the bouquet toss...I am one of the 5 single girls at weddings and it is humiliating.
I'd say pass on it. Love how you're considering your guests in so much!
Glad you aren't doing it...we did it for the same reason. It's old fashioned and I wasnt a 22 year old bride. I think it more leaves women standing out there feeling stupid and frankly, embarassed....
Good idea! :) Same with the garter toss too...old fashioned.
thank you, lord......... I'd be 1/5th of that grouping.....
I am totally with you. I am not doing a bouquet or garter toss. It's lame and it breaks up the party. Once everyone is out on the dance floor and having a good time, why disrupt it?
