Leftover cake!!

Erin Wood, on May 23, 2017 at 1:26 PM Posted in Planning 0 61

I think I'm going to have a lot of leftover cake. I was thinking of having the venue box up slices for guests to take home. Do you think people will take cake?

    Absolutely! We had a lot of leftovers and we did have plenty of people take some.

    We had a dessert bar and cake. I noticed that some guests did take some before leaving for the night but, it wasn't boxed or anything.

    I would say that maybe ask the caterer to put some boxes out by the cake and allow guests to serve themselves.

    We had a dessert table along with our cake and had cake bags available. Plenty of people took dessert home.

    Definitely, leftovers for all!

    Oriental Trading also has a "eat drink and be married" cupcake box that can fit cake slices, too. Very cheap!

    @LillyBean- Thank you! I like cheap.

    @Nas- Found those on Pinterest. $50 for 50 of them. I think I'm just going to get plain boxes and print cute stickers with our names to put onto the top.

    Thanks for the feedback! We are having dessert bar too and I figure people will take cake and 1-2 mini desserts.

    Yes! I have a friend who did this with her extra cake at the reception and people definitely were happy to take some home!

    Reminds me of how salty I am that our venue never gave us our extra cake. Pretty sure the kitchen kept all that delicious cakey goodness for themselves. Grrrr.

    @Bemyguest @OHP- I would do that except FH doesn't eat sweets and we leave for Thailand the Monday after our wedding. We will be in the car most of the day Sunday driving FH kids home and then packing. No time for cake. HaHa!

    @Babybunnies- Those bastards!!! Lol!

    @Mrs. Fall Bride- nobody in my circle is going to get upset about not getting cake to take home. Anyone who does is a petty Betty. I don't associate with drama.
