Traditions are meant to be broken, right?! These five old-school traditions are ones that we think you can totally change or forgo all together! Make your day your own and don't worry about what tradition says you should do.
Bouquet Toss
The most cringy moment of a wedding is inevitably when the DJ says "can all the single ladies join me on the dancefloor". No one wants to be singled out for being single, especially at an event that literally is celebrating a lifelong relationship. Save your guests from being uncomfortable and forgo the bouquet toss.
Garter Toss
In the same vein, no one wants to watch you and your partner have a little sexy time amidst a large group of your closest family members. We promise grandma does NOT want to see that. If you do choose to do a garter toss, please, we're begging you, don't throw it into a crowd of guys. Do you really want one of your husband's friends catching a sweaty piece of silk that's been under your dress all day and smells like your BO? Awka awkward.
Cake Cutting
Waiting to do a cake cutting until the end of the night - Traditionally, the last official event of the night was the cake cutting so guests who wanted to leave before the end were "permitted" to do so after the cake cutting. If you're someone who wants to get your party on, we'd actually suggest doing most of your big reception "Events" like cake cutting towards the beginning of the night so you and your guests can focus on dancing as the night progresses.
Not seeing each other after the rehearsal
It's your wedding and you can do what you want! Just recently we had a couple who left their rehearsal dinner to go out for drinks as their last date night as an engaged couple. Whether it's going out for drinks the night before, or even breakfast the morning of, we think you and your fiance should do whatever makes you happy in the day before and of your wedding.
Only having same-gender wedding party members
The people who are most important to you are the people who should be in your wedding party, regardless of gender identity. Have a bridesmaid, a bridesman, or a best person, it's up to you! Plus, this offers other fun ways to have your wedding party enter your ceremony and reception such as individually, in a few groups, or all at once like a team!
