Wedding Garter Toss Etiquette
The bridal garter toss, an ancient wedding tradition, when done discretely can be a fun, celebrated wedding tradition. Yet there are some recommended do’s and don’ts for a classy bridal garter toss. As a symbolic gesture of the groom tossing his old life away in exchange for his new married life, the wedding garter toss is a way of passing good fortune on to whoever catches the bride garter. Traditionally, anything that the bride wears is believed to bring good luck. The man who catches the wedding garter is thought to be the next to wed.

The Wedding Garter Toss: Classy Garter Toss Tips for proper etiquette for tossing the garter:

• Garter Toss Tip
  Grooms: Do not remove the garter with your teeth, which is just poor taste. Instead, be discrete by gently raising the bride’s dress just enough so that the garter can be removed.

• Garter Toss Tip
  The bride should always be seated as the groom removes the bridal garter. Additionally, the bride is seated pointed to the side, so as to not be facing the crowd directly, as her wedding garter is removed.

• Garter Toss Tip
  Before the wedding garter toss takes place, the bride may want to slide the bridal garter down from its placement on her upper thigh to just above her knee. This will allow for a more tactful removal of the wedding garter and will make it easier for the groom. You don’t want the wedding garter removed in such an over-the-top way that it’s more like a burlesque show than part of a wedding celebration.

• Garter Toss Tip
  If the bride wishes, she can remove the bridal garter herself before handing it to the groom for garter tossing.

• Garter Toss Tip
  Traditionally, the woman who catches the bouquet and the man who catches the wedding garter are expected to either share a dance, a photo opportunity or both.

When it comes to grooms and the wedding garter toss, the choice as to whether this wedding tradition becomes a part of your wedding is a decision that the couple can make. The great thing about having your wedding is that it is YOUR wedding and you can have it your way! If you like the wedding garter toss tradition, include the wedding garter toss in your wedding day. (When it comes to the actual wedding garter toss, make sure to tell the guys to make an effort to catch the bridal garter.) If you decide to skip the wedding garter toss, simply keep the bridal garter for your wedding album.
