Take a look at The Top Garter Toss Songs and Ideas
How it works
Typically, the bride sits on a chair in the middle of the dance floor, facing guests with the groom standing directly in front of her. The groom then removes the wedding garter from the bride's thigh as guests look on with a song or combination of songs playing in the background.
Put on a show
Picture yourself standing by, pumped up and eagerly waiting for your cue to go. You look around and nod your head to let everyone know that it's show time! The DJ starts the music, and the lyrics to [YOUR SONG] begin to pour out the speakers while cheers of encouragement and excitement fill the room!
He's got the moves
Some of the most creative and popular moves grooms often use may include; slowly removing and throwing their jacket, low crawling, sliding across the floor and depending on how enthusiastic the newlyweds are, you might even see an innocent lap dance.
The most requested songs
When couples ask us for advice regarding song suggestions, we always tell them to pick a well-known song if they want a reaction from their guests.
Two song examples that come to mind that also happen to be our most requested are; "Pony by Ginuwine" and "Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye."
Keep in mind that people tend to react well to songs they know and not so much to ones they have to figure out.
Take it off
- Blindfold the groom and let his hands be his guide

If none of the suggestions listed above fit your personality, then keeping it simple and removing the garter belt the traditional way works too.
