Bouquet Toss At Your Wedding Reception Alternatives

In the old days single ladies tore a piece of the bride’s gown to take home for good luck. As years went by, that tradition transitioned into the bride throwing her flowers for the single ladies. They say the lady who catches the bouquet is the next to be married. Some brides don’t want to do the traditional bouquet toss so they are using alternative tosses at their weddings. Below are some ideas.

• Split your bouquet in half and give half to your mother and half to your mother-in-law. You can also have two smaller bouquets made to give them.
  
• Split your bouquet and present it to your grandmothers, or have smaller bouquets made for them.
  
• Think of a guest you would like to honor and give it to them as a good luck or thank you bouquet.
  
• Invite married and single women to the center of the floor. Have your emcee tell them to make a wish while your bouquet is in the air and hopefully the dream will come true for the person who catches it.
  
• Make a bunch of small bouquets that you can hold all together in your hand. Tie a fortune to each small bouquet. Invite all your guests to the dance floor and throw them all at once for your guests.
  
• Tie a gift card for something that would be nice for a man or a woman such as a gas gift card or grocery gift card. Invite men and women to the dance floor and throw the bouquet. If a woman catches it she can keep the gift card and the bouquet. If a man catches it he keeps the gift card and since he probably won’t need the bouquet give him the option to present the bouquet to any guest he wishes.
