Thoughts?
A new thing I have been seeing is in lieu of the bouquet toss, there is a couples dance where one by one, you are asked to sit down depending on how long you have been together-- the couple who has been together the longest (usually the grandparents!) is left dancing and the woman is handed a bouquet.

I really like the couple dance and think it's a very nice alternative to a bouquet toss.
We did the bouquet toss at my wedding, but not the whole "garter being put on the toss winner" bit. The month before our wedding, we attended the wedding of one of DH's best friends. He threw the garter directly to DH since he knew our wedding was less than a month away, and the bride's sister caught the bouquet. DH had to put the garter on her leg, and the girl wasn't wearing any underwear! He got a view that he hadn't planned on getting.
After that, we decided to forego the garter part at our own reception.
