Lady, I''ve never heard of that, but it makes sense. If that''s the case then I don''t want to cut it until after a lot of dancing!!Date: 6/5/2008 9:14:22 AM

Thanks for your replies, everyone! Has anyone else seen it done before dinner? The last couple of weddings I''ve been to did it then, and our reception hall is hinting that we should do it that way ourselves. I think their reasoning is that way the cake doesn''t sit too long and get hard to deal with (soft icing and filling sliding around), and they can cut it up while everyone eats to serve it immediately after dinner. I see two potential problems with this - 1) It''s just the complete opposite of tradition (where the cake cutting is the signal that it''s safe to leave), and 2) Everyone might be way too full for cake right away. Is it possible the pros outweigh the cons?
This happened at a wedding I went to last summer. Everyone left after the cake. So many people left even before the bouquet toss. Then again, they didn''t keep the crowd very entertained either so maybe everyone was waiting for cake and then chose to leave because literally, NOTHING was going on. lolDate: 6/5/2008 9:49:42 AM
