You can go ahead and buy 2 of the same garter, but this could get expensive if the garter is very fancy. You can also buy 2 different types of bridal garters, one that is less decorative to throw and the other to keep. However, an even better way to buy 2 garters is to buy a Keep/Toss Bridal Garter Set.

Keep/Toss Bridal Garter Sets typically contain 2 garters with slight differences. The toss garter is usually less decorative and has shorter lace. With shorter lace and less decorations, the toss garter is more comfortable to wear. The keepsake garter has longer lace and sometimes contains more decorations, such as pearls.

The garter throwing ceremony is just like the bouquet throwing ceremony except the groom takes the garter off his bride and throws it to a group of unmarried men. It is said that the groom is supposed to put the garter on the woman who caught the bouquet, but that is rarely practiced nowadays.

If you plan on having the garter tossing ceremony, you should plan on buying 2 bridal garters or a Keep/Toss Bridal Garter set so you have a garter to toss and a garter as a keepsake.
