Resolved Question: POLYMER FACE MOLDS Wedding Topper?

Posted on Nov 28, 2009 under Wedding Cake Toppers Q&A | No Comment

Hi, my beautiful fiance and I are getting married next April. For a surprise I would like to create a wedding cake topper of us two in a classic pose from her favourite movie. However I am not that handy and would like to know where you can get good molds of faces as this is proving difficult. Needs to be for a 3inch caraciture. Alternatively if anyone is good at this and doesn’t mind helping create a mold or face out of polymer then please let me know.

Open Question: So no cake cutting with a cupcake tree?

Posted on Nov 26, 2009 under Wedding Cake Toppers Q&A | No Comment

We’re doing a cupcake tree instead of a wedding cake… We will have the top tier be a small 8″ cake, but we will keep that for our 1 year anniversary. So, no cake cutting for us? :( It seems awkward just picking up a cupcake and feeding each other… Any ideas? Did anyone else have a cupcake tree and what did you do?

Open Question: Wording for wedding RSVP card…so confused!!?

Posted on Nov 26, 2009 under Wedding Cake Toppers Q&A | No Comment

First off, my wedding is on a tight budget…the kind of budget where I need to try to keep the price as low as I can. Lol. I’m having a bit of a delimma with invites and RSVP cards. I’ll try to explain this the best I can..it doesn’t make as much sence written out as it does when I explain it in person, so bear with me. :) I don’t technically want to say no kids invited (because there will be a few children there that I’m already aware of), but I don’t really want everyone to bring like 12 kids a piece. The venue offers a cheaper price for children between certain ages, so I’d like to know how many children in that age group would be attending so I don’t have to pay $45 a person for somebody I could a discounted price on. I’m not trying to be rude…examples for my reasoning: at my aunts wedding, two of the children were running around the head table and knocked off the $300 flutes and broke them..but that was only after knocking two tiers off of the cake. And also once at my baby shower, my cousin brought her son and he threw up on the floor…no biggie normally, but she didn’t clean it up! She just moved her chair over top of it. I don’t want to have to deal with that stuff, so I’m trying to avoid too many children..but if they HAVE to come, I’d like to know.
So I’m on the fence…how would I make it so that people didn’t assume it is ok to bring all of their children, but still be able to know if they do so that I could get the childrens price? What should I do? How would you word the RSVP card?

Open Question: MOH and Bride problems?

Posted on Nov 26, 2009 under Wedding Cake Toppers Q&A | No Comment

So my younger sister just got engaged this past weekend. After talking with her, I realized that her and her fiance and practically already planned the whole wedding about 2 months ago without having anyone involved… food tasting, picked out the cake, the reception venue, the pastor, the date, the flowers, her dress and the bridesmaid’s dresses.
She got engaged on Saturday and Sunday she asked me to be the MOH. I was thrilled because we arent’ very close and I thought this would be the perfect time to become closer.
Today I talked to her and she said that she already picked out my dress a month ago with a bridesmaid. On top of that she doesn’t want me to do anything except help the bridesmaid dress the day of the wedding.
I feel insulted that she would exclude us all from helping her. I have to pay about $300 for dress and shoes and do nothing! My husband is laid off, I have two young sons so paying that for a one time thing and just holding a bouquet isn’t worth it to me.
Am I over reacting? She isn’t doing me a favor by telling me I’m the MOH and then having taking someone else to get the dress, nor for me to buy something for a one time thing. She hasn’t ordered the dresses so it’s not like she needed to do it then. Also the wedding is in about 8 months. She would have had time to go with me if she had asked.
