Danielle Kremers, Garter Toss, Sound Sensations EntertaimentThere are a ton of different ways you can do the “Traditional” bouquet and garter tosses.   You just need to find an idea that is a true reflection of your personality, whether you are outgoing, reserved, have a lot of single ladies at your reception, or not, we’ve got some great ideas to share with you.

Multiple Winners

Involve more of your guests, by inviting each of your groomsmen to throw one as well.   It’s gets more involved, and you have multiple people winning!

Drinks are on Me

Are you planning a cash bar at your reception?    Attach “Free Drink” tickets to the bouquet for added enjoyment among the single ladies when you toss the bouquet.

Bouquet Toss/Garter Toss Alternative

Instead of throwing the traditional bouquet and garter, present the bouquet to the longest married couple during the anniversary dance, and give the Garter to the couple that most recently got married.

Skip the Garter Removal

Instead of the traditional removal of the garter, especially for classy/elegant style weddings, just do the toss without the pop and circumstance of the removal.

Hidden Items Removal

Get creative, and if you have the right FUN personality, as you are doing the removal of the garter, have several other items secretly hidden under the brides dress which need to first be removed, examples could include, a chicken, oversized undergarments, a wrench, well anything, then finally the garter.

The NFL Toss

Are you a big football fan?   Do you have a themed wedding celebration?   Either way, this one is sure to be a hit amongst the groomsmen.   Have a small autographed football, signed by all of the groomsmen and the bride/groom.    Then have the DJ play the Monday Night football theme, attach the garter to the football, and do a football toss to the groomsmen for the toss!

kids candy toss, sound sensations entertainment, fox valley wedding As you plan your wedding reception what are you going to do to make your reception stand out? What are you going to do to make the reception unique? Whether you choose a traditional style reception, or you are looking for several unique ideas, it’s all up to you. Are you planning to have a bouquet toss? Are you planning to have children at your reception? Wouldn’t it be fun to surprise them at your reception? You can!

Here is a great idea to follow your bouquet and garter toss if you are having children at your reception. Consider the Teddy Bear or Candy Toss. The kids will love it. Here is how it works:

After the bouquet toss, have the DJ/Entertainer invite all of the children out to the dance floor for a special fun game. As the DJ invites out the children to the dance floor, for the teddy bear toss, have the DJ play Teddy Bear by Elvis Presley in the background as he is setting it up. If you decide on a Candy Toss, “Candyman” by Christina Aguilera is a better choice. Once the kids are on the dance floor, on the count of five the bride, tosses either the teddy bear(s) or candy to the crowd of kids on the floor. The kids eyes will light up, and they will remember how different, original, and unique your toss was.

The sky is the limit when it comes to alternatives for kids at your reception, and the “kids toss” is just another way to personalize your unique wedding reception.

Hilton City CenterWill You have a sit down or a buffet style dinner?  If it’s a buffet style dinner service, engage your wedding guests by doing something unique for them to be released to the buffet.    Here are a few FUN examples which have worked well in the past:

Bride/Groom Trivia

Have your DJ ask each table or multiple tables a trivia question about you, and make it multiple choice.    Guests will be entertained, and engaged!    Whether they get the question right or wrong, they get released to the buffet, so you don’t have a back log.    Click here for trivia question ideas

Sports/Nostalgia Trivia

Instead of trivia about you, you can have your DJ release tables to the buffet by doing trivia about your favorite sports team (ie Packers Trivia, Brewers Trivia) or maybe you have a movie theme where you do questions about certain types of movies.   The sky is the limit with all of the different multiple choice trivia options available

Name That Song

Have your DJ play a quick 5 second clip of a song, and then have them identify the song to be released to the buffet.

Song Titles for Table Names

Instead of table numbers, name your tables by a song title, then when the table hears their song being played, they can be released to the buffet.   You can be as creative as you would like with the songs, if it’s a movie theme (use songs from your favorite movies), sports theme, maybe each table has a different sports type song, or maybe use songs from your favorite genre or artists.   Again, the sky is the limit here.

Sing For Dinner

Before each table is released to the buffet, they need to stand up and a song with “Love” in it.    Upon completion of their song selection, they are released to the buffet.

Words of Advice or Poems

Provide each table with paper, and pens, and have them share some advice for a long lasting marriage, and before they are released, the DJ will have them stand up and share the advice, then they release to the buffet line.   Guests could also write a poem about the bride and groom and then share it.    –All of the advice and/or poems shared can be captured into a scrapbook following the reception for an added touch.
