Once the wedding ceremony is over and the groom has kissed
his bride, the newly wedded couple and their friends and
family move onto the reception. This wonderful celebration
is a time for everyone to congratulate the newly weds and
enjoy great food and drink. The wedding reception is a great
way to get to know the new families and friends of the couple.
Good food and good drinks, as well as wedding favors are
a great way to welcome the new members of the couple’s
family into their hearts.
The wedding cake is a traditional part of the reception.
Some couple chooses to have a cake made custom to their
life or their time together, those that choose a more traditional
cake, usually decide on a cake topper. This is a great way
to enhance the cake. The topper also is something that the
couple can treasure; something to help them remember the
day they became one. Most toppers are ceramic and show the
couple in their formal wedding attire. More personal toppers
might show a special moment in the couple’s time together,
such as the proposal, or portray a certain personality the
bride and groom have.
There are many places to find the cake topper. Checking
many places, both local and online stores, is the best way
to ensure finding the topper that is perfect. There are
themed cake toppers that are great if the wedding is themed.
Also available are toppers that can be personalized with
the couple’s names or initials, and the date of their
wedding.
Not all cake toppers are figurines. Some couples choose
to have a Monogram Initial cake topper. This is great for
a small round tiered cake. Different sized and shaped cakes
can allow for more letters on the top tier. If the wedding
has crystal ware or an ice sculpture, then the couple may
choose to have a crystal cake topper to match. A personalized
topper of Swarovski Crystal monogram letters can be the
final touch that pulls the look of the wedding reception
together.
Another item that helps pull together the look of the reception
is napkins. Napkins are a great way to accent the tables’
centerpiece. Imagine the couple’s 50th wedding anniversary
and a thoughtful family member does the place settings with
the personalized cloth napkins from the wedding. Different
colors and napkin rings are a great way to further the look
of the reception. The napkin ring is a great way to connect
the place settings to the cake topper. A nice cloth napkin
with the bride and grooms initials and the date of the wedding,
completed with a crystal napkin ring to match the cake topper
could be the perfect touch to any wedding reception.
Other items that can be customized the match the receptions
theme or the couple, are favors and keepsakes. Personalized
gifts for the wedding party and the new in-laws are always
appreciated. Flasks and jewelry boxes are a great gift that
can be engraved. Smaller gifts for the guest can also be
given, things like candles or small things of bubbles that
can be blown at the couple instead of throwing rice, which
is bad for the birds. Gifts are a great way to say “Thank
you for all you have done and for being here with us on
this very special day.”
