Watching the bride and groom thrust cake into each other's mouths is a long-enjoyed custom for Prescott weddings, but there are many more fun wedding cake activities to think about as well.
One new option that's gaining popularity in Prescott is to have cupcakes instead of a cake. This is normally cheaper than having a cake and it can be a good deal 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 merely handed out on plates to each wedding guest.
You can construct activities into the cupcake display. For Instance, the cupcakes for the bride and groom might have a distinct ornamentation from the ones for the guests. To keep things interesting, you can have thePrescott bakery include a special prize in one or several of the cupcakes.
Many guests are under the impression that once the cake is cut, they are free to depart 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. As an example, every guest could receive a slip of paper with thier piece of cake. The slips of paper might give an agenda for the rest of the evening or might ask the guest to perform a short 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 ought to keep the guests guessing and supply some entertainment as the instructions are carried out.
Just try adding a little creativity to your wedding and it will be a night to remember for everyone.
