Wedding on Dad's Birthday

mackenzie, on May 19, 2016 at 3:11 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 11

We are getting married on my Dad's Birthday. He says he doesn't mind because he turned 60 last year so this year its like whatever! lol But i wanted to do something nice for him that day as well. I was thinking of asking our cake lady to make him a small birthday cake and then mentioning it in my thank you speech for sharing his day with us. Does that sound weird or not?

    We made mention of the person who shared her birthday with our wedding. As long as he doesn't mind the attention, that's nice to include him that way.

    Our wedding is on FH's aunt's birthday. We'll probably make a mention.

    Besides, what better way for your father to celebrate a birthday than with all that joy?

    I don't think it's weird and if he doesn't mind then it's all good Smiley smile

    Our reception was on my uncle's 75th birthday. We had the band sing Happy Birthday to him and we brought him out his own cake. It went over very well!

    Halfway through reading the post I was like "aww they should make him a little birthday cake to have at the wedding" haha so CLEARLY I agree with you! If he's okay with the attention it would be super cute.

    I share a birthday with my dad so trust me I'm a PRO at stealing birthdays. As long as they still get a happy birthday shoutout from you they tend to be cool with it Smiley smile

    I think it would be sweet to have a cake for him and to mention his birthday.

    This happened to me too! I didn’t realize when we picked the date that it was my dads birthday and my sister pointed it out to me but he said he didn’t mind sharing his day with us 😉 I ordered him a single tier 4” cake in his favorite flavor to surprise him with. Haven’t decided if I want to display it on the wedding day (his actual birthday) or present it to him during the rehearsal dinner.
