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?

    We were originally ditching it and just doing cupcakes, but recently decided to do a small 2 tier cake for the cutting and then cupcakes for the guests

    I totally agree! It would be a little silly to cup a cupcake!

    We are on the fence about this one. We may not do a cake at all, if we do, it will be for cutting purposely and the kids to enjoy.

    We are keeping it. I'm actually getting a bigger cake then needed because I want that "Bride & Groom cutting the huge cake" moment and picture(s). We will also be keeping the feeding and "accidentally" smashing it in each others face
