There are three things every bride and groom must do at their wedding
reception – according to tradition, of course! But what if cutting the cake,
performing a first dance or tossing the garter or bouquet just isn’t your
thing? No need to worry about missing out on a great party atmosphere
with these fun alternatives.
cake cutting
Let’s take a moment to appreciate that convention has moved on from
breaking the wedding cake over the bride’s head to merely - cutting it.
Considered the first task of a couple’s married life, the cake cutting is
actually a sweet tradition (pun intended!) where feeding each other a piece
is a way to show your dedication to providing for one another.
For a perfect nod to this custom, choose any activity that involves you,
your partner and some food or drink. If you’re a sweet tooth like me,
you can celebrate with a sugar hit of stacked donuts, macarons, cookies,
profiteroles, pies or even a chocolate fountain! If you want to do away with
desserts altogether, why not consider mixing a signature cocktail to serve
to your guests, or get the party started with a champagne tower poured by
you and your beloved.
Finally, what about a cake-shaped piñata? It’s instant entertainment and a
unique way to say thank you to your guests with some take-home sweets!
