    Not really. 😂 The only other really obviously Disney thing we did was get couple shirts that said “I’m his Duchess” and “I’m her Thomas O’Malley” for the honeymoon.

    Our cake had three tiers, which was enough to serve all our guests. We also had a dessert station with other options!

    Also, desert table with chocolate covered strawberries, macaroons ect...

    How many guests did you have?? We are having 106 and I'm trying to decide if I need 3 or 4 tiers, because I know I want to save the top tier for sure. We're also having a candy table with assorted candy, cake balls and possibly chocolate covered Oreos and/or pretzels. So I'm having trouble deciding how many tiers we actually need.

    We had just under 100 guests and did not save the top tier of our cake. We also had four other "mini" desserts (ordered for 65 people) that, when we checked in the middle of the night, still had a lot remaining. In hindsight, we could have reduced the orders of the mini desserts further, since everyone seemed to stick to wedding cake.

    4 tiers and taking the top home! Chocolate with salted carmel, strawberry on strawberry, and vanilla with lavender filling. They are all so delicious!

    4! I want the top to have the traditional bride & groom. The 3rd tier will be rolled in our wedding color sprinkles & the bottom will have either Mr. & Mrs. script or another quote

    Just 2! my fiance and i both have dietary restrictions that we don't want to impose on everyone, so our caterer is doing an assortment of mini desserts for everyone and we ordered a small vegan/gluten free cake for us (and a few others if they wish)

    Lol thank you!! 😄
    We went on an Alaskan cruise! 😊 It was so beautiful, and so much fun (though it would’ve been more fun if I hadn’t gotten sick, lol).
