Cake cutting

A.L.S., on June 1, 2017 at 11:39 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 21

Recently I've noticed many brides and grooms are opting to do a private cake cutting just for pictures . What are your thoughts ?

    I know of couples who don't like the spot light and chose to cut the cake on the side. Is that what you mean?

    We cut our cake on the middle of the dance floor and still got plenty of pictures from our photographer.

    I think it's weird to take the cake away for the couple to cut it in "private".

    I had not heard of this before... we'll just cut it the usual way in front of everyone. It's a party so we will be partying!

    I've never heard of a private cake cutting. Is the cake just not out on display at all during the reception so that the cutting can happen privately?

    I have never heard of that. We will be doing it the regular way in front of everyone. That is one of my favorite parts of weddings.

    @Harley, that picture is hilarious! To me it looks like "you better eat this" and he is like "make me" lol

    love it!!!!!!

    We will be cutting ours in front of everyone @tattooedbride just ask him not too. My FH really wanted to since every wedding he has been to has done it. I told him that its the first test of how much he respects me as a married couple since I really don't want it.

    We're not even having a cake (gasp). We're opting for a huge baked goods table, lots of variety for everyone., we're just not into feeding each other.

    I have never heard of this. There was one wedding I went to recently where they didn't do the ceremonial cake cutting. The cake just appeared after dinner.

    Yes as in the cake is on display then it's just on the table cut up , maybe I should have worded it differently .

    I think the cake cutting sometimes breaks up the party! I don't think I'd do it. Plus I want cupcakes so there's that Smiley smile

    We cut the cake with everyone there. I never heard anyone wanting a private cutting. I had wonderful cake cutting photos no one else in the pictures.
