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.
