You’ve chosen music for your walk down the aisle, signing of the register and first dance, but what about the garter toss? We’ve got the Top 30 Most Requested Songs for Garter Activity

Nowadays, the garter toss is sometimes the only way to get most of the single guys on the dancefloor at a wedding, but the tradition started as a practical solution to a big problem. As the bride’s dress was considered lucky, a cry of ‘get the garter!’ as a bride attempted to leave at the end of the wedding meant that unless she had thought ahead and pinned the garter in a prominent place, she was in danger of having her dressed ripped to pieces by her guests!

When the garter toss is included in a wedding, it can be a fun way to add a bit of spice and a few surprises: like the groom that also wore a garter for his wife to toss and the rugby-loving couple that threw the garter wrapped around a football.
