Small cake on sweetheart table ... weird?

Amanda, on July 29, 2013 at 9:35 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

Okay, so I'm writing out step-by-step set up instructions for the wedding. I just realized that the 200-count cupcake tower and cake stand for our small cutting cake probably won't fit very nicely together on the 4-foot round cake table.

I'm thinking instead of having just the cupcake tower on the cake table, since the tower itself is 3 feet wide and about 3 feet tall. Then, I'll put the small cutting cake (8-inch tier and 6-inch tier) on our sweetheart table, kind of as decor. The cake table was going to be essentially off in a corner anyway, and this way when we do cake cutting, it'll be front and center.

Would that be weird to have the cake on the sweetheart table? It should be really similar to the one below.

    As long as you have room for your own plates and drinks, then go for it! Since it's small, I don't think it'll obstruct the view of the beautiful bride! Oh and yeah, the groom too.

    Since it's after dinner, maybe have someone clear off your plates, centerpiece etc. really quickly on the sweetheart table so there is nothing on it and bring out the cake when you are ready to cut it?

    Yep, there should be plenty of room for our place settings and the cake, since it's so small. We're having trouble thinking of a centerpiece for our table, so I thought this would help our table to stand out a bit.

    Having it brought out just before cake cutting is a brilliant idea too! That way, it's kind of a surprise, and less chance if it melting in the heat. Nice call Soonyee Smiley smile
