What little things have you purchased for your wedding? (e.g. cake cutting set, ring box etc)

Decor

Saw that some of you had been posting your cake cutting sets and things like that, and just wanted to share mine which I LOVE! https://imgur.com/a/fktPh it even comes in a package that looks like a slice of cake! Also my ring box too :)

What other little things have you purchased for your wedding? And feel free to share your cake cutting sets too! I have a strange obsession with them right now!

I bake a lot so we didn’t mind getting a cake server - this is the one we picked. 😬

I’ve “joked” to my boyance that I’m only doing it for the cake, so it seemed appropriate 😄

I mean, it’s gonna be a baller cake, soooo

Yah I defended my purchase of the cake set by saying “but we’ll use it for our entire lives!!!” 😂

I haven’t bought much yet but I did just buy a big bag of biodegradable confetti for the bridal party to toss when we kiss at the end of the ceremony! 🎊

Ooh I love this idea! Where did you find the confetti?

Amazon! It was $16 for a pretty big bag.

How are you putting this out for your guests?

noodsieSept. 8, 2018; KI, OH•

It’s not for guests actually. The plan is for the bridal party to have small envelopes in their pockets and they will whip it out for the kiss! Sort of a surprise confetti toss. And maybe some extra envelopes for photos ops.

I bought a stupidly overpriced hanger from BHLDN that will hopefully look very pretty in the one photo of it and the dress :)

And my mom bought us bride and groom stemless champagne flutes as a little surprise. They're cute and it was a sweet gesture!

Haha yes I’ve been debating if should get one of those too! Sadly shipping to Canada is such a rip off!!

We're skipping, like, everything. Skipping rings, cake cutting, the weird garter stuff, the bridal party, and basically every other tradition because we're weird like that. So we don't need a lot of the little things.

We did buy the wood we'll use for signs, the centerpieces (our vintage post cards from countries we've visited are coming in now, which is exciting) and most importantly, I purchased a sweet new red lipstick to go with my bridal makeup.

ToppokiOP•

Haha great job with the lipstick 💄

The only little thing ive bought so far are fairy lights when someone on here posted that Amazon had them on sale. I think i'll be purchasing some table overlays tonight, finally found some that are $5 ea and not $30 (with 12 tables to cover thats a huge difference!) I'm trying to save where I can since I can't save on so many things, like I put down the deposit for a $700 cake yesterday....ugh. That bad boy is getting cut with a dollar store cake knife.

ToppokiOP•

Oooh yes. I don’t even know how much my cake will be yet! The fairly lights sound super pretty!

My FH is a massive fan of The Simpsons so I bought him some custom made pig cufflinks like on the episode where Lisa grows up and almost marries an Englishman. £50 but totally worth it.

ToppokiOP•

Haha cute! Love your date too!!

I got myself the Mrs. Box when it was on sale right around Thanksgiving. I seriously take a peek at it every week because I just love it.

2
ToppokiOP•

I was thinking of getting one too! But ultimately I wanted both rings in the same box so I got a different one instead :)

yumdonutsDW - Italy 9.27.18•

They have rings where you can fit two rings! (I got that one)

ToppokiOP•

Oh that’s awesome!

Oh the tiny things have been everything lately. Got our cake topper, groomsmen gifts, bridesmaids gifts, mothers' gifts, and the stuff for my father and brother. Got the tiny dinos for ^suprise fun decor (gonna spraypaint them gold and hide them among the fancy decorations. Waiting for our stamp to come in to complete our library book/bookmark favors. All the things! But no cake cutting set just yet!

2
ToppokiOP•

Your decor sounds super cute!! Great job getting all those... I am not even close!!

I bought some Indiana Glass wine glasses for FH and I, they look like this. I love carnival glass, I swear I'm secretly a little old lady.

Planning on getting something like this deer antler cake set for our cake cutting. We're having a country camping wedding in the holler, so they should be perfect!

1
ToppokiOP•

Ooh that’s pretty! Yah I think those will go well with your theme!

A few weeks ago we had nothing and now, thanks to the January sales, we have a cake topper, some vintage postcards we're using as table number cards, a vintage suitcase as a card box, our wedding rings, cufflinks, bridesmaid dresses and shoes for both us! My postman must be sick of me!

1
ToppokiOP•

Hahah yes mine too! mine told my FH to take away my credit card lol... my response was that I had it memorized already.

Great job though, that’s really good progress!

Oh, and my hairpiece.

We registered for a cake cutting set...I wanted a cute one, but I also didn't want to pay for it myself. I made stemless champagne glasses (put gold vinyl on cheap glasses from Target), and we spent way too much on cake toppers but they're on display at home now. Your cake cutting set is super cute!

1
ToppokiOP•

I would have registered but I wanted to have mine beforehand and I’m really picky about these things. Thanks!! That sounds really pretty, I love the stemless glasses!

I'm a disney dweeb, so I have a few little Disney touches.

My intern gave me a Cinderella Castle cake topper, my parents gave me two champagne flutes with the castle on it for our toasting glasses.

I bought a mailbox and a bunch of postcards for our "guestbook."

ToppokiOP•

Ooh the cake topper sounds adorable!!
