Star's Favorite Things: A Garter Toss with Flair for the Sports Loving Groom!

The "Garter Toss" is a fun wedding tradition where the Bride's garter is removed by her husband and tossed into a group of single male wedding guests.  Legend says that whoever catches the garter will be the next of the group to get married.  The prospect of being the next to get married terrifies some men and they often do their best to not catch the garter or tend to accidentally drop it if they catch it!  It is all in good fun of course, but if you think you'll be dealing with a group of guys who may shy away from the garter, consider wrapping it around a football before the groom tosses it to his boys.  I don't know many men who would drop a football (not on purpose, at least).  It is also a fun keep sake for the "winner" :)  This is such a unique and fun idea, especially for sports lovers!

In honor of the Giants, today's post will be dedicated to all the uniquely cute items you can incorporate into your day.  Whether your a big sport's fan or your hubby to be is and you want to surprise him with a sweet detail incorporating his big team! 

Now it's tough to find a heel that screams go Giants but there are plenty of awesome socks for men and women.  So you could sleep in a pair or gift him with a pair for him to wear on his big day.

Last but not least Etsy always has amazing garters you can customize to your liking.  What's neat about this is your fiance would not have a clue until he's taking it off as your husband!  Plus they always give you a toss garter so you'll have it as a keepsake!
