Even with the economy picking back up, everyone is looking for a way to save wherever they can. This is even more true for engaged couples who find their wedding expenses adding up. Here are a few money saving tips for the sweetest part of the reception: the cake!
FAKE IT
Get a smaller tiered cake (or dummy cake) for the reception and ask your baker to make sheet cakes that your caterer can cut and serve to guests
KEEP IT SIMPLE
Cakes from magazines are usually very expensive because they are so ornate. The less decoration on your cake, the less the cake will cost.
ALTERNATIVE DESSERTS
Get a cupcake tower with a smaller cake for the cake cutting.
REAL FLOWERS
Decorate your cake with real flowers instead of sugar flowers – some florists will throw in free decorative cake flowers as part of your package.
FAMILY HEIRLOOMS
Ask your baker to include a sparkly heirloom like a brooch onto the cake that won’t cost as much as time consuming sugar decorations.
