Black Garter
Ceremony.
Some brides are choosing
not to do the typical bouquet and garter toss since they have few single friends or they
do not wish to embarrass anyone. If this is the case then a Black Garter ceremony may well
solve this problem. But, everything must be prearranged your DJ. The groom is invited to
the dance floor and then the DJ invites the married men to the dance floor. The groom then
tosses the garter to one of the group of married men. The catcher then is advised that he
can place the garter on his wife, in privacy at home. The bride then invites a special
friend from the audience to the dance floor and gives her the bouquet. At this point, the
bride and groom can start off the dancing to a special love song.
Miner’s Light
For groom to take garter off leg of
bride. All you have to do is lift up the dress, go up the leg, find the souvenir, and
bring it out.” As the groom starts, the DJ should stop him and say something like
“under a full length dress it gets very dark. I have something here to help you
out.” The DJ should then Strap a light on groom’s head (something like a
miner’s light). This works best when bride is wearing a very long white wedding
dress. The light makes the dress glow, and the guests can see the light travelling up the
dress (but nothing else).
Bouquet & Garter
catchers bow to each other
I had a garter toss done at
my wedding, for a number of reasons. The garter was worn tastefully just below my knee,
and the garter catcher made a courtly bow to the bouquet catcher—no mauling or
anything else inappropriate. From: newsgroup alt.wedding
Man wearing garter
under kilt
Since my husband wore a kilt
at our wedding, he decided to wear the garter. We called all the single folks (male and
female) up for the garter toss; the 2 of us went to get a chair and positioned it in front
of the guests. Then Jherek gracefully seated himself and extended his leg for me to slide
off the garter (which matched the kilt colors). We both tossed it to the crowd amidst much
laughter and hilarity. From newsgroup alt.wedding
Balloon drop with
garter
Decorators take a big balloon and fill
the inside with several little balloons. Inside one of these smaller balloons is hidden
the garter. The groom takes a long pole with a pin on the end of it. He bursts the big
balloon which is hung over the dance floor (it therefore doubles as a very nice
decoration). Once the big balloon is burst, all of the smaller balloons fall, invading the
dance floor. The bachelors have to burst the small balloons in order to find the one with
the garter.
The same can be done for the bouquet
except instead of having the bouquet in one of the balloons, you have a trinket that
represents a bouquet. The lucky bachelorette exchanges this trinket with the bride for her
bouquet. From newsgroups alt.wedding
Miscellaneous
Groom tosses his “little black
book” to his single guy friends since he “won’t be needing it any
more!”
