Bring Lots Of Fun To Your Wedding With Comical Cake Tops

Funny Wedding Cake Toppers

Lots of bridal couples today like to inject a little bit of humor into their wedding festivities. While entertainment and toasts play a part in this, humorous cake toppers are often displayed as well as an extension of their sense of humor. They can also be great conversation pieces at the table, which will be huge relief for some guests who may have never set eyes on each other before the day, or have been avoiding each other for all that time.

Humorous cake toppers may also help break the ice for people wanting to start a conversation. They also make wonderful keepsakes for many years to come as they sit on the mantelpiece or showcase at home, and can be displayed again and again at each anniversary – each year still succeeding at sparking off a giggle or chuckle.

Cake toppers that are humorous or funny can be normal bride and groom figurines in funny poses. Instead of the normal standing side by side pose, there are figurines of the groom carrying the bride in a weightlifter’s stance, the bride in a bikini sitting in a top down convertible driven by the groom or if the guests can take it, the bride and groom in a suggestive pose (not recommended if the guest list is predominantly conservative!). Other poses are available online and in some specialty stores, although they may not be the ones the couple had in mind.

The best beach cake tops may have to be custom made, as it will be too challenging and time-consuming to shop for The Perfect One. These toppers can be made from clay, porcelain or even wood so if a custom made topper needs to be done, sourcing a skilled craftsman should be a priority. Providing the sculptor with a clear, digital full shot may be enough for him or her to get a good idea of how to move ahead with the toppers.

For each of these funny toppers, the figurines do not always have to be dressed in wedding garb. More modern couples today prefer to have their cake topper figurines dressed in more casual wear so they will fit into each anniversary celebration thereafter better.

Before deciding on any particular humorous or funny cake tops, take into consideration the theme, décor and most importantly, the personalities of the couple. After all, it would hardly be suitable for a traditionally decorated wedding to have very risqué cake toppers, and neither would it be appropriate for an indoor wedding to have cake toppers of the bride and groom in beachwear, which would definitely fit a beach wedding better.

Other aspects of the couple should be taken into account too. Couples who are known for constantly bickering and disagreeing should be displaying wedding cake toppers that reflect as such – either both in a huff or both waving white flags of surrender.

Another way of having funny cake tops could be to use as toppers items which no one would ever think of putting atop the cake. Items like wire bent into specific shapes, flags of different countries for couples of differing nationalities or even a mini wedding gown and suit, specially tailored to fit the cake.

Humorous cake toppers will always get guests humored at weddings. It is a great idea to make sure the wedding is remembered for years after.

Wedding cake toppers – choosing the right one for you

Once upon a time, wedding cake toppers consisted of a little plastic bride and groom that didn’t have much personality nor quality about them.

The tradition of having a bride and groom statuette on top of a wedding cake began back in the 1950s in the USA and the figures were said to represent togetherness and distinguised a wedding cake from being any other celebratory cake.

Since the early days of those black and white plastic figurines with painted on bright pink faces – thankfully – an awful lot of progress has been made. Times have changed and nowadays you can buy wedding cake toppers in hundreds of different styles and materials and you are truly spoilt for choice….in fact, maybe today there’s too much choice – which makes it very hard to decide on just the one!

These days choosing the right wedding cake topper is also very  important – maybe not as important as choosing the right dress, flowers…or spouse! But, with the wedding cake being the central focus of a wedding reception, it does receive much attention.

Wedding cakes are also in full view of all guests for a few hours before they are  cut and the topper you choose will be immortalised along with you and your spouse, when the photographs are taken of you both cutting the cake. It therefore pays to choose a cake topper that reflects your personality, or one that mirrors your wit and sense of humor. Maybe you’d prefer one that illustrates your hobbies or perhaps one that just ties the whole theme of your wedding together.

Because wedding toppers for cakes are such a strong visual element – the first step to deciding which type to go for is to browse many images of wedding cake toppers that other couples have chosen to see what catches your eye. You might well be surprised at the range that is available in the marketplace and online.

For instance, figurines are available that depict couples in mountaineering gear, of various ethinic backgrounds, walking hand-in-hand on a beach, riding a motorcycle or sitting gingerly on the edge of the cake. Monogrammed wedding cake toppers are also very popular and add an air of elegance  while  personalised heart shaped toppers that feature a photograph of the couple are gaining in popularity too.

If you’d like to browse an image gallery of wedding cake toppers, make your way to sites such as Wedding Cake Toppers where you’ll find many images of some of the best wedding cake decoration as well as links to the suppliers that stock them.

As your big day fast approaches, I wish you Shakespeare’s wedding wish and ‘May heaven give you many, many merry days!’
