Cake Topper Size?

Alforev, on August 5, 2017 at 4:13 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 5

My FH and I found the most perfect cake topper ever on etsy! I think it's too early to order it for sure but I can't get over how it is exactly what we imagined. I have a Siberian husky and my FH has a cat and we consider them part of our family and really do want to include them. Our save the dates also have a tree with a heart and initials. Could this cake topper be more perfect?!

My only question is when we are ready, how do we know what size to order? They offer 5inches - 8inches. What is normal for a wedding cake? Our venue is providing the cake and we don't go to a tasting for that or to design it with the baker until a few months before our wedding. We definitely don't want to miss out on this cake topper though so would it be bad to order it early? Definitely open to recommendations! Thank you all! Smiley smile

    I guess it would normally depend on how large your cake is. Bit look at it this way, how many guests are you going to have? Because the more guests the larger the cake will have to be which in turn would mean your cake topper being larger.

    You could also call them and have then give you a rough estimate.

    I got our cake topper on Etsy and it was perfect. It really depends on your cake size. We had a small wedding and the topper was about 6" wide, 4" high.

    I would say 6-7 inches is good for a medium size cake. Your baker can always design the cake around your topper if your dead set on this topper

    Are you doing a tiered cake? If so, a common top tier of size is either 6 or 8 inches. If you love it go for it! Personally, I'd probably error on the smaller side.
