Original post by gabbie83

- 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 wouldn't do the I do letters myself because i dont like them.

I don't think you are being lazy at all, just be sure you don't overlook something you may regret!

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!!!



LOVE THE barefoot part. I have been asked by FH to please not take off my shoes at the wedding when dancing

Re: is anyone not doing these:

i did a monogram cake topper because the traditional cake toppers are just not my style.

i did not do table numbers.. i cut down my ideas for DIYs because they were so time consuming and that one just didnt seem needed since the RH puts their own numbers on the tables anyway for their staff to know which tables were which. and it worked out FINE.

i didnt make cake table letters.. i used something i found in WALMART lol.. it was SOO cute and went with our theme.

see the L♥VE thing?


i didnt do programs... just ran out of time.. my mom was supposed to do them, but never did.. and i decided they just werent important to me. the wedding only lasted about 30 minutes the most.. so i cut them out.

i did the menu's though because those were important to ME.

so do what is important to YOU hun... not what you think you should do because lots of other people do 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



our RH had the appetizer on the plate before the guests entered. im glad i didnt do circle menus.. this is how they set ours up-

You are not being a lazy bride and I am right there with you...

I have no idea what we will be doing for a cake topper since we aren't have a traditional cake - having cupcakes instead. And I haven't found anything I like either. Just flowers sounds like a good alternative.

No 'we do / love' letters on the cake table.

No pictures or table numbers or menus - whatever our RH provides is fine with us.

No slippers or slipper basket or bathroom basket.

No ceremony programs.

No seating cards - will do alphabetical seating list in picture frames instead.

Will be doing OOT Bags - we have too many OOT guests not to have them.

Well if ur lazy than i guess i am lazy too!! I am most likely not doing a cake toper either... just flowers....

No I DO or WE DO lettering

No slipper basket

contimplating on doing menus.... but that will most likely be a no as well

The only thing i am doing is programs, and that is only b/c I am getting married in a Greek Church and my family is Catholic, so that way they at least know what is going on!

YEAH I think they're cute but there really is no way to do them...i know in other states its different and there is no apps when you get to your table so it works that way

Re: is anyone not doing these:

I like the idea of a cake topper but I am skipping slipper baskets, crypacks, we do letters. I wanted to skip the bathroom baskets but my sister thinks they'll be useful.

I did go crazy with favors -- what the heck was i thinking?
