Need Ideas In Lieu Of Bouquet/Garter Toss
I am having a reception of around 100 people. Most of these people are my relatives. The problem is, I`m the last to get married! There will be NO single people over the age of 13 at my wedding reception! I didn`t even think about it until today. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do instead of a bouquet toss and garter toss?

There are no single people? not even any widow`s?
If you had a bunch of little girls under 13 that might be cute to just go ahead and toss it to them, they might get a kick out of it.
Or you could just skip it. My sister didn`t do any of that and I don`t think anyone noticed.

We are going to have all married couples join on the dance floor for a dance. Little by little the dj will ask couples to stay on the dance floor if they have been married for more than one year, five years, then ten years and then fifteen etc..... The last couple standing gets the bouquet. It`s a nice photo opp. Too. At the last wedding I went to the winning couple, the aunt and uncle, had been married over 50 years. It`s a beautiful tribute.

Or you could give your bouquet to your grandmother/grandfather or other special relative.

This is what I came up with....
No garter toss... (no single guys!)
And for the bouquet, I`m making it myself...so I`m going to do a hand tied bouquet with long stemmed roses. During the reception, I`m going to untie the bouquet, and distribute the roses to the mothers, aunts, sisters, etc.
