Creative Wedding Cake Activities in Prescott
March 11th, 2010Watching 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 consider as well.
One more recent alternative 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 alignment with the wedding theme, just as a cake is, but the cupcakes are instead organized on tiered cake plates and exhibited on a cake table until it’s time to consume them. The cupcakes can be simply passed 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. To keep things interesting, you can have thePrescott bakery include a valuable 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 desire. 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 desire your guests to remain after the cake is eaten, it is worthwhile to build some activities into the cake-cutting event so people will stick around. As an example, each 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 ask them to take the flower girl out on the dance floor for a whirl. The element of the unknown ought to keep the guests guessing and supply some entertainment as the instructions are carried out.
Add a little creativity to your wedding and it will be an evening to remember for everyone.
