No cake topper. Just whatever flowers will be on there (the ones made of fondant sugar)

Re: is anyone not doing these:

I'm doing a cake topper - but it's a lenox one that was bought from a store.

Not doing WE DO letters for the cake table

Not doing slipper or bathroom basket

Not doing table number pictures

Not doing OOT bags - and this is actually the only thing that I kinda wish we were doing. But with 9 days to go time and money are short

ETA: Not doing menu's - my hall provides them already

We are doing programs but I have one of my Bridesmaids actually working on them for me.

I'm not doing a cake topper... Maybe flowers- but I'm not planning to buy anything. We're going to put some additional items on the cake table (maybe some memory items- pictures).... and a disney cake topper that someone got for us which we like, but don't want on the cake

I ended up buying a caketopper but it wasnt anything crazy. As far as picture table numbers and things like that I didnt do them either and honestly I dont even think anyone would have noticed them!

i dont think we are going to do anything with our cake....no flowers, no monogram - maybe we'll get some crystal snowflakes or something along those lines to put on it but i havent seen anything that i really like...

we are doing table #'s - we are going to use pictures of our dog

im doing programs but i dont think im going to do any menus - if i did do menus i would do the circle ones - i LOVE those!

you arent being lazy - i bet nobody even appreciates or notices half the things we do! hopefully our guests will be to busy having a good time to notice all the small details....



What are circle menus? Please share





now i love these but question, most RH's have the appetizers on the tables when guests enter so they cant do this bc of that right? i mean every RH i went to, when you get to your table they have the salad, or app

I'm thinking of doing the LOVE leters, but none of the other things you mentioned...you're not lazy by any means...if you don't want it or have time for it, then you don't HAVE to do it.

I remember reading a post by an 07 bride, and she said that you shouldn't feel peer pressure to do things just because others on LIW are doing it.

- cake topper --- im thinking abotu just doing flowers on top, i cant find anything i like :(
- we do letters/love letters on cake table - with 1 month away i dont know if i want to be bothered wiht it
- picture/table numbers - i dont know if i want to do it, it seems so time consuming & im thinking it might be too much...

ANyone with me?

Am I being a lazy bride?

I still have programs & menus to do.

I'already elminated the slipper basket. lol.
I just dont have the time




We are having a monogram cake topper

Table numbers I am doing myself using pictures of me and FH.

We are doing 'We Do' letters for the cake table.

Menu's are provided by the RH

I am not sure if I am going to do program's yet and I might do away with the slipper basket.

ur not alone!! i'm not doing cake topper (just fresh flowers on top and cascading down). No we do letters and i'm using the RHs table numbers!

the menus/programs and favors are enough DIY for me! you'll be fine



same here. I was only planning (hoping) on doing menus and MAYBE programs. no topper, no table numbers, definitely no we do. I even want to get someone to write my placecards b/c i sooo do not want to!

yes, i was originally all about the circle menu. my rh told me they usually have the appetizer on the plate when the guests arrive, and they could not do that if I wanted, but I figured it would just take more time for them to serve everyone, and people would have to move the menu right away anyway. We actually made a sample circle menu, and i ended up doing the long ones instead, they looked more formal. I think the circle ones are great for a summer/more casual wedding, jmo

I saw this ABSURD cake topper that was a bride and groom dolphin head, and it looked liek they were jumping out of the cake! FH did NOT approve!

Re: is anyone not doing these:

I didn't do any of those things, and honestly, I'm glad... my wedding was beautiful, there was no need to stress over the extra things. Good food, good music, good people and a healthy love for one another is really all you need to make the day successful!

Re: is anyone not doing these:

No topper, no letters, no pictures.

I wouldn't call it lazy. We all have plenty to worry about, don't feel obligated to do it if you don't have the time.

Re: is anyone not doing these:

i'm doing table numbers, but not the pictures. I'm naming the tables after wines.

the other stuff....ehhh

slipper baskets --no people can dance barefoot just i like did at their weddings!

WE DO letters -- thought this was cute but I'm too lazy to do it.

Cake topper--i bought one a while ago, but now i dont know if it will go with my cake



and BTW YAY GABBIE!!! only a month to go!!!

Re: is anyone not doing these:

no cake topper for us--flowers did just fine


no we/i do letters

no slipper baskets

no cry packs

none of that stuff really interested me. just menus & programs were done

Re: is anyone not doing these:

LOL...i'm with you. I eliminated the 'We do' letters, the menus (JT provides us with nice ones), and the slipper baskets. I'm too busy right now!!!

Re: is anyone not doing these:

We are not doing a cake topper. It just doesn't go with our cake. As for the slipper baskets, I think they are a nice idea but not in our budget. I only heard about themfrom the girls here.
