Wedding Cake Topper

A great way to begin your cake selection is to choose the wedding cake topper first. The cake topper can help determine what the cake will look like and what the proportions will be. A good example of a cake topper influencing the cake is the Reaching Bride/Helpful Groom cake topper and the Climbing Groom/Victorious Bride cake topper. For instance, the height of the top cake layer should be tall enough to accommodate the Reaching Bride or the Climbing Groom. The layer of cake underneath the top layer should be wide enough for the Reaching Bride's dress to fit comfortably. This requires coordination between both sizes of cake layers, but is easy to do if you purchase the cake topper first. For any cake, be prepared to choose a size for each layer approximately ranging from 4 inches to 24 inches. Bakeries usually do not carry every size of cake pan in every orientation such as square, round, or octagon. Many bakeries skip every other size to save on the cost of cake pans. This can be advantageous to you since the size range that bakers choose are usually proportionate.

Soon to be newlyweds hope this Saturday brings them luck. And the reason is the date, 7-7-07. Many brides are looking for a little luck. But at www.weddingfavorthings.com we might just need some luck of our own

Weddingfavorthings.com already knows this week is going to be crazy. Last minute buyers can put a strain on our order system, but its built to handle it.

"We've had quite a few brides ordering from our site weddingfavorthings about nine months ago to a few months ago, making sure they get their order in early for this weekend's date and we've had to double up on our efforts to meet them," said Gerry J at weddingfavorthings.com.

Specialtyribbon.com Owner, Gerrard Francis had to alter the schedule too. That's because 44% of his July weddings are on Saturday alone. And this being a holiday week only adds to the chaos.

He says, "Most of our orders have to be out on the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday before the wedding. With the Fourth of July on Wednesday, we have a very hectic schedule for Thursday and Friday,"

It looks like everyone could use a little good fortune this weekend. Some brides could've used it months ago. One bride we ran into was hoping for a triple seven wedding but had to switch to the 6th instead. Every hall she called for her wedding venue was already booked.

Not all couples are so superstitious. Gerry and Francis have heard everything from ‘it was my old softball shirt number in college’ to ‘it's just easier to remember my anniversary’.

There are many theories as to why the number seven is a lucky number. Some say the bible. Other theories look to the Egyptians, Hindu mythology, and even Norse lore. Chinese weddings are hugely popular right now with this date. Weddingfavorthings.com says they have never had to say we dont have it in stock right now for a theme wedding.

BLACK OR WHITE JUST MARRIED SANDALS
These fun sandals are not only for the Bride and Groom. Consider providing a pair for each of your attendants to wear while they enjoy a day at the spa, the beach or even at the reception. These also would make fabulous guest favors for weddings with a beach or tropical theme. To determine the appropriate sandal size, measure your foot from toe to heel. Select the sandal that is the same or slightly larger. These are flip flops and do not require an exact fit.
