Are you ditching the cake cutting?

The cake-cutting is a classic wedding tradition and standard photo opportunity! The symbolism is pretty sweet - it’s the first activity you do together as a couple, and feeding each other a small bite symbolizes your commitment to providing and caring for one another. But cutting the cake can become pretty complicated (which tier?!), and not everyone wants pictures of themselves chowing down on dessert!

Are you ditching tradition and cutting out the cake ceremony at your wedding? Or keeping this tradition in? Smiley cake

Thank you, next (tradition): Are you doing or ditching the "carry over the threshold" tradition?

Back to the beginning: Which wedding traditions are you ditching?

    I totally agree! There's a big difference between a cutting and a smashing! Smiley laugh

    Nope! We're both looking forward to that part! We both agree though, so smashing cake in each other's face. We BOTH hate that. I don't judge anyone else if they want to do it, but not for us

    I think this is a pretty common agreement, Laura! No cake smash at the cutting!

    I didn't care as much about this one, but the fiance still wants us to do it. I think he's secretly preparing to smash cake in my face despite the fact that I've threatened his life if he does so.

    Ditching -honestly we are doing ice cream instead of cake. It's a favourite of ours and a nod to our first date.

    We are cutting the cake! Although we’re doing it immediately after dinner so we don’t have to stop dancing later.

    Wow, that's actually such a great idea! I never thought about the flow of events being stopped for the cake cutting!

    We cut the cake. That was not something we wanted to skip! It was just after sunset, so the lighting behind us was really cool!

    Ditching this. Realized not most people pay attention to this part haha. Also it’s something we both said we weren’t interested in when we got engaged.
