Bouquet and garter toss
Recommended.
Happens after the dance floor is opened, after dinner, during an early lull.
DJ will wait for a lull in the dancing and then start the Bouquet and garter Toss.
First we find the “Toss Bouquet” which is an extra ( less expensive ) bouquet that bride has made up by the flower company.
Next, we ask the bride if she is ready for the Bouquet Toss. Tell Groom to be ready too.
Should be done earlier rather than later, because guests leave.
We call up all the single and married Ladies. ALL the Ladies. All ages.
Bride tosses Bouquet
Groom retrieves garter. Or, already has it in his pocket if we do not want “hands under the Bride’s gown”.
We call up all the single and married Gentlemen. ALL the Gentlemen. All ages.
Groom Tosses garter.
We have the Garter catcher sit in chair and we have the Bouquet catcher put the garter over his shoe onto his ankle. It takes 2 seconds and while she does that we play either “Man I feel Like a Woman” or “Dude looks like a Lady”
Then we ask the couple to pose for an “engagement photo”, and then right back to everyone dancing.
It is quick and usually very funny.
This can be a judgment call and only be done if there is a lull, but can be skipped if the dance floor is jammed and “raging” the entire time, in which case, we just dance like crazy monkeys, the entire time.
