Should you decide that you want to do the tosses, you can choose from the
following options:

Candy Toss - This is great if you have a lot of children at your reception.
Sometimes brides and grooms choose age restrictions on the tosses
One ideas is to separate the ages by tossing candy to the kids
and doing the bouquet / garter tosses for the adults

Traditional Way - We first call all the single ladies onto the dance floor for the
bouquet toss.  We follow with the groom removing the garter and
then he will be asked toss the garter to all the single gentlemen.

Train Line - Instead of having us call out the single ladies and gentlemen,
we play the train song and send the bride and groom out into the audience
to escort all the eligible guests to the dance floor for the tosses.


Bouquet Toss Ideas
Can throw garter and bouquet at the same time.
To get the single women to come forward the DJ can try saying "All married women, please raise
your hand. All women with hands down, please come out onto the dance floor."

  • Can get the single women in a circle around the bride, blindfold the bride and spin her
    around before tossing the bouquet.

  • Can put money (like $10 or $20 each) into garter and bouquet before throwing to entice people
    to come out for it.

  • Victorian tradition: having all the guests assemble for the toss. The bride or MC can preface
    the event by saying that in Victorian tradition, all the guests assembled for the throwing of
    the bouquet, and that they wished all of their loved ones to gather at the stairs/on the dance
    floor, etc. As the tradition goes, luck will come to the guest who catches the bouquet.
Toward the end of the evening, bride can make a short speech and present the bouquet to her
mother.

  • Invite all the married women onto the dance floor. Now start eliminating them by asking "all
    those women married one year or less, please be seated" and working your way through until
    there only one woman left (besides the bride) on the floor. Find out how long she is married
    and then give her the bouquet.

  • A bride wrote in soc.couples.wedding: I watched a documentary on television about Finnish
    wedding customs and in one wedding all of the available women formed a circle around the
    bride (who was blindfolded). The bride spun in one direction (slowly) and the women walked
    (holding hands) in the opposite direction. At some point everyone stops and the bride hands the
    bouquet to the person who is facing her. I suppose it would work better for smaller groups
    of people. The whole idea seemed more calm to me than the traditional "women fight for the
    bouquet" sort of thing I’ve been subjected to.
