Inclusive and Sentimental Bouquet Toss Alternatives
All single people looking for a new love relationship – men, women, of any identity are invited gather and get a flower from a ceremony vase.
(People can gather and pick their own flower or be handed a flower or passed out to the seated guests. This is a good task for children in the extended family. ) (Note: LGBTQ folks are often reluctant to participate is this kind of ceremony unless specifically invited and encouraged to come forward.)
Bride and groom both speak to the flower holding guests about the joy of finding someone so wonderful as they have (using descriptive words) and their wish that each guest should find someone as wonderful as “we have” "you and you" (couple pointing at each other)
I guarantee you will get a wonderful reaction from all of the guests at your reception. Aaaahhh...
or
Consider an alternate ceremony where you give a flower out of your bouquet (designed to easily come apart) to each eligible person and say that you (or the wedding couple together) wish that each one could find someone as wonderful as your new spouse
and perhaps some other sentimental wishes for each of them.
