Watching the bride and groom thrust cake into each other’s mouths is a long-enjoyed tradition for Prescott weddings, but there are numerous more fun wedding cake activities to consider as well.
One new option that’s increasing in popularity in Prescott is to have cupcakes instead of a cake. This is usually more affordable than having a cake and it can be a lot of fun. Cupcakes are decorated in conjunction with the wedding theme, just as a cake is, but the cupcakes are instead organized on tiered cake plates and displayed on a cake table until it’s time to eat them. The cupcakes can be simply handed out on plates to each wedding guest.
You can build activities into the cupcake display. For example, the cupcakes for the bride and groom can have a distinct ornamentation from the ones for the guests. For fun, you can have thePrescott bakery hide a valuable prize in one or a few of the cupcakes.
Many people believe that once the cake is cut, they are free to leave the reception if they so wish. Since cake cutting usually comes after the meal and after dancing and other traditional celebration activities, many people take the opportunity to leave the party after the cake is cut and enjoyed.
If you want your guests to stay after the cake is eaten, it is worth it to build some activities into the cake-cutting event so guests will stay around. For example, every person could get a slip of paper with thier piece of cake. The slips of paper might give instructions for the rest of the evening or might ask the guest to perform a little dance, to give the groom or bride a kiss, or instruct them to take the flower girl out on the dance floor for a spin. The element of the unknown will keep the guests guessing and supply some amusement as the instructions are implemented.
Add a little creativity to your wedding and it will be a night to remember for everybody.
