It is said that the garter toss actually began as a custom where the bride would toss her garter to the single men in attendance at the wedding. If the male guests had too much to drink, they would try to take the garter off the bride, and that's how the groom became involved in the act. Nowadays, the garter toss has become an anticipated wedding event with music that creates a playful mood. If you are a groom-to-be and want to make the most of your garter toss, make sure to have fun music playing.

Instructions

Step1
Perform an online search for information on garter toss songs. You should be able to find a top ten list for the most popular garter tossing songs.
Step2
Search through your own collection of music as well as your memory bank for songs you like.
Step3
Choose a fun song or one that defines your personality. If you like an artist or relate to a song well, you will be more relaxed and probably have more fun tossing the garter.
Step4
Ask your DJ or band for ideas on a garter toss song. Some will offer suggestions based on past experience.
