Throwing the garter began in France when pieces of the bridal attire were considered lucky. The bride would throw the garter to the guests at the wedding and whoever caught it could expect good luck. In the United States, the groom traditionally removes the garter from the bride and throws it to the unmarried men. The man who catches it is thought to be the next to marry.thewave.gif

I really don't want to do the garter and bouquet toss. My fiance really seems disappointed about this so i'm trying to come up with other ideas in the place. I like the idea of having a dance and eliminating couples until we get to the couple that has been together the longest and giving them a bouquet (not my bouquet of course lol). Does anyone have any ideas I could use in place of the garter?

I have seen the 'throwing out the groom's little black book' thing, to all his single friends. It would not work in my case, but the couple I know who did that filled in the names of every single girl they knew in the book. Not sure if it ever got used or not; I think that might offend some too, but it worked for them.

 

I would really love to do a bouquet and garter toss. I just don't see it working for us. We will probably have a small group, and I am not sure if anyone there will be single with the exception of my sister and brothers, and they surely do not want my garter! I am kind of disappointed, but maybe we will do one at our AHR. Hope so! I love traditions, even the cheesy ones!

 

Regardless, I will probably wear one anyway, even if it is just putting it on at the end of the night for FI to find. He would love it!

Thanks for posting this. I always wondered how the garter toss started.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
