Generally 1 decorative garter is worn to be removed from the brides leg by the groom, during the reception. The single men are invited to circle the groom while the bride covers the grooms eyes the single men walk in a circle around the groom who then throws the garter. who ever catches the garter dances with what ever single girl has caught the brides bouquet, which is done in a similar fashion.

Garters are elasticized bands worn around the legs, waist, or arms to hold up items of clothing. On the legs they would be holding up socks or stockings, on the arms they are used to hold up the sleeves.

A garter is a type of stocking that you wear over your leg in marriage on your wedding day under your dress.

What is a wedding garder?

Wedding garters are decorative bands of fabric and elastic that a bride wears on her right thigh underneath her wedding gown. Often, near the end of the wedding reception, the groom will remove the garter from the bride's leg and toss it to the single male guests. This usually happens at the same time as the bride's bouquet toss to the single female guests. Sometimes bride's will even wear two garters at once. One to be tossed, and one that becomes a keepsake. For a little historical background, wedding garters began as a European tradition in the 14th century when people believed that owning a piece of the bride's clothing would give them good luck.
