At the toss:

Gentlemen, I need you to tak this oath. It is a requirement.

Raise your right hand. (Invariably one will start to raise his left.) Your other right hand. Now, recite after me.

I, state your name... (Some will have ssen Animal House or Blazing Saddles too often and will say "state your name". Just go with it.) Should I catch the garter... promise not no ... hang the garter from my car mirror.

I think I got that from a guy who's initials are the same as Kitchen Patrol.
 
When I am doing a garter toss I say something like this after I have all da men down on the floor,,,

"Ok Brian (groom) now befoe you get started, there are a few rules that go along with what you are about to do..... Rule number 1, is that a woman likes to have her man on his knees, so you need to get on your knees in front of your WIFE.. (I emphasize WIFE for dramatic effect) am I right ladies? (I ask and gets lots of hollars from da babes! LOL)....... Rule 2, and this actually comes from one of your groomsmen, and I won't say who, but he has a big smile on his face (I'm lieing at this point, but it makes it sound more personal I think)... he says that you get extra points for doing this, with NO hands! I don't care what you use, but no hands! (more hoots and hollars).... (and as the noise dies down, I talk softly)......and the third thing I want you to think about, (talking softly) is to keep in your mind, just pretend, that you are all alone, it's just you and Betty, and you know what (pause) you are married now so you can do anything you want, it's legal! Go for it!....

Then I play Leggs, or The Stripper or whatever song they have picked out...

Now, I don't do this all the time, but 80% of the time I do and it seems fun.

I know some will be offened by it. But that's just me......

So what schpiels do you use that are fun?

I almost stole this verbatium.... and it went over very well especially the part about him being on his knees and belonging there.... they roared for that.... and he did go up there and get it with his teeth with just a little motivation... and I got him to shake his head while still under there..... lol
 
well you Hoosiers know a good thing when you read it!! My parents are from Evensville BTW.... glad it worked!
 
I couldn't use the groomsman part so I simply said "Rule #2.... and this comes from your best man... he says that you can't do this with out your hands... so... Rule #2 is NO hands.... I don't care how you do it just don't do it with your hands..."

I forgot the third part... but it was cool.... they loved it!
 
Just before the groom removes the garter I like to suprise him with, " Hey (groom) how bout giving (bride) a little pre garter dance?" Que a song quickly.

Depending on what happens next,

No dance- stop music and I say "Guess not"
Some bad dance- Stop music and I say, "that will be enough of that"
Fun dance- allow it to go until it gets stale. Sometimes I am suprised at how entertaining this can get.

Before the groom shoots the bouquet I do the count down as I get to 2 and he is getting ready to shoot it, I stop him and say " You know it is a proven fact that how far you shoot the garter has direct correlation to how well you perform tonight, so shoot far my son".

Everyone roars...
 
:sqlaugh: For some reason this popped into my head last Sat... I did it after I got all the men on the dancefloor and the groom was there, he knelt down to soon, I told him to stand back up,,,, I said..... "what? are you in a hurry here? Something you wanna do? Well I think it is time for you to do a little something for Rachel. I think before you get the garder, that you need to show her a little dance. Whatta ya think fellows? Show her how sexy you are" cue "I'm Too Sexy"

it was great!!! Funny, he got a kick and it was all good.... mahalo for this idea....

Just saw this right now, but I usually take of my tie off and tell everyone this will be more fun if the groom was blindfolded. I then blind fold the groom and have one of the groomsmen sit in place of the bride. BUt the the bride will be right thers to brush here dress against his arm or hold his hand so he thinks its her. Its wild when he first touches the leg and its super hairy and you can just see the shock on his face. Then I say for real this time and let the bride sit down. Goes pretty well.
