Picking Out A Wedding Cake Topper

January 31, 2010

Do you want to turn your wedding cake into an eye-popping celebratory confection? Usually, wedding cakes are an integral element of the wedding reception’s unique décor. It may be the head table’s centerpiece. Wherever the cake is, it will definitely play a central role and communicate design focus for your wedding.

Thus, it is reasonable to make an effort at procuring an unforgettable cake topper. Humorous wedding cake toppers can be amazing conversation starters for all those shy guests at the wedding reception. Often, wedding receptions force long-lost (possibly deliberately lost) friends, distant family and lots of other people in your life to mingle socially, and it may be hard for them to enjoy themselves.

Obviously, many of these guests do not communicate regularly if at all, and the conversation can be stale or simply non-existent. Why not use a funny wedding cake topper to get the juices flowing and break the ice?

Where To Find Funny Wedding Cake Toppers

There are multitudes of cake toppers to pick from and probably just as many places to buy them. If you can, a quick and easy method is to purchase one from the baker who created your cake. Be careful, though—their selection might be less than extensive. Don’t settle for something that is not what you want. If the baker is a bust, try online. You can browse websites devoted to unique wedding decorations or try your luck on eBay. Some online companies now even design custom wedding cake toppers according to your specifications.

Your Personality

A surefire way to ensure your cake topper is really funny is to customize it according to your particular personality. Everyone will get a laugh at you and your partner making fun of yourselves. For example, if your partner has been a little slow to make your relationship “official”, then a topper with a bride is dragging the groom can be very humorous.

Another idea is to make the topper reflect something that you and your partner do together or both love. Do you program computers together or both work in business? Is your favorite date a rock concert? Whatever you can come up with may be worth turning into a unique topper.

What You Need

If you plan to commission a custom topper, you will need several high quality digital photos of yourselves or your chosen subject. Then, transmit them to your contact at the company so your topper’s sculptor can create miniatures figures that look just like you.
A funny wedding cake topper is a great way to help your guests relax and begin enjoying each other’s company at your wedding reception. People will love the opportunity to chuckle at your little joke. This type of unique cake topper will transform your wedding cake from the typical, boring, traditional dessert to an over-the-top, creative, and delicious delectable.
