Cutting the wedding cake is a tradition at nearly all weddings. We shared some information about the history of it a couple of months ago in another blog post – Click Here to read it. We always ask our couples to pick a song for us to play as they cut their cake… but most have never thought about it. Here are some of our favorites, as well as a list of the Top 50 Cake Cutting songs as chosen by couples last year. (Click on each one to hear it on YouTube.)

Let’s face it – most wedding details are chosen by the bride. Grooms don’t typically care about what color the linens are, which flowers are in the centerpieces, or the design of the wedding cake. But that doesn’t mean they should be forgotten. A great way to include – or even surprise – your new hubby is to have a Groom’s Cake for him. This cake can be designed to really reflect his personaity… His favorite hobby, sports team, job, etc. At some weddings we’ve been a part of, the bride will have the Groom’s Cake brought out right when they cut the traditional wedding cake as a surprise. Here are some great Groom’s Cake ideas from our friends at The Knot. (And GO BRONCOS!!!)
