Most couples on their wedding day want a cake that tastes
good and looks good, especially if they’ve spent a
pretty penny on it. That means the cake should have the
perfect ingredients, texture, color, shape and… wedding
cake topper? That’s right. A wedding topper is like
the front page of a book: if it looks interesting enough
people will want to dig deeper into it. If your wedding
topper is funny and makes a statement then your guests will
definitely want to take a bite out of what’s under
it.
This is especially true for guests who may not know each
other. If a bride’s grandparents and older family
members are seated at a table with the groom’s fraternity
brothers from college they may not have much to say to each
other. There is only so much smiling that they can do before
their faces get a cramp. But if you have a funny wedding
topper they may become best friends by the end of the night
thanks to their shared laughter.
Break the Mold
Nothing about planning a wedding is easy or convenient,
so don’t try to cut corners and take the easy way
out by purchasing a generic topper from a local bakery.
Anyone can buy a Lego look-alike bride and groom topper
from the bakery section of a grocery store. You want yours
to be unique and memorable, so let your creative juices
flow and get some ideas from the Internet, or better yet,
come up with them on your own. Combine the skills you gained
from your elementary school arts and crafts classes with
the logic you gained from adulthood.
The Joke is On You
We all know that the bride should be the center of attention
during the wedding ceremony, but once the bride and groom
are officially married and head over to the reception the
cake becomes the belle of the ball! Instead of getting jealous
over a piece of plastic you can poke fun at yourself by
choosing a humorous bridal topper. Maybe you finally got
a ring after waiting 8 long years, so you can pick a bride
looking at her watch while the groom shrugs his shoulders.
You can also decide on a humorous topper of the two of
you doing some of your favorite activities together, such
as hiking or playing Scrabble. If he often loses to you
in Scrabble it would be quite humorous to show you jumping
up with the win while he bows his head in second place shame!
Picture Yourself on the Cake
You probably want to get a topper that looks just like the
bride and groom, so the best way to do this is scan a few
of your best pictures into the computer. You can do this
at your home computer or go to photo studio. When you’re
done you just email the pictures to the company and they
will create the topper. Just don’t send them your
awkward high school graduation picture or your guests might
be laughing for the wrong reason.
Weddings were made to create happiness and laughter for
everyone involved, so help your guests get an extra chuckle
with a humorous wedding cake topper. They might just want
to have the cake…and eat it, too! |
