Wedding Reception Songs for the Bouquet Toss

- Focused/driven (on getting the bouquet)
- Ladies
- Getting a man
- Fighting (over bouquet)
- Pretty or sexy ladies
Many of the songs are simply stating the theme. Some wedding reception songs are lighthearted and comical for the toss e.g.
- “Eye of the Tiger” (focused/driven theme)
- “Another One Bites the Dust” & “Love Is A Battlefield” (fighting over the bouquet theme)
- “It’s Raining Men” (getting a man theme)

Suggestions for selecting your themes and song
- What is the overall theme and vibe of your wedding and does the song reflect your style? e.g. Is your wedding sophisticated and classy? Is your wedding focused on being a party? Would something funny reflect your personal style? Make sure your song is suitable.
- Who are your guests? Is Grandma going to be uncomfortable if you have the ladies lined up with “I Wanna Sex You Up” playing or is there a better choice?
- Check out the lyrics of the songs you are selecting. Do they reflect your theme from for the bouquet toss song & wedding theme? Is there something offensive, insensitive to personal situations or unfitting for your wedding? An easy way to research this is to google the lyrics.
