Quick Wedding Saving Tip

In this temporary economic downturn, engaged couples are searching for ways to save money, yet still have a great wedding. Can it be done? YES! Here is our tip of the day...

Ask your local grocery store bakery about when they will have their wedding cakes on sale. Yes, it's true... they do actually have sales from time-to-time, believe it or not! Check with the bakery staff. Cakes normally do not need to be ordered with huge lead times, and if you know they will be having a sale, wait to order it then.

You can also save by ordering plain, round tiers individually, and then decorating them with fresh flowers at the reception yourself! If these options are even too much, simply purchase a top tier for yourselves and make matching cupcakes for guests.

Good luck!

More Cheap Wedding Cake Ideas

OK - I have another great idea for getting a good wedding cake deal. It's simple, yet effective! It will work especially well if you want a simple cake, and you already have your cake topper or will be using fresh flowers as decor/topper.

Ready?

Buy pieces of the cake (the tiers) separately. Call a bakery or grocery store bakery and DO NOT say you want a wedding cake. The minute the words "wedding cake" come out of your mouth... there is an instant markup - cha-ching$$. Ask to purchase plain white or ivory frosted, round or square cakes and see what happens. Hey, for all they know, you could be a PTA mom buying cakes for the school's cake walk!

It's so easy to put your own ribbon around each tier and to place your own topper on the cake!! Anyone with an artistic eye can easily place some fresh flowers around it too, and create a lovely floral topper. Try this tip, and see how it works for you. Good luck!

Need a Cheap Wedding Cake?

Hello friends,

Just wanted to tell you about a great wedding cake deal. This weekend, I was the matron of honor in a wedding.

I don't have pictures of the cake yet, but it was lovely! It was a 3-tiered cake, with white and red frosting that served 100 guests. When I asked the bride where she got it and how much it cost, I was very surprised. She paid $115 for the cake at WalMart! It came with everything necessary to set it up, including a take-home box to save the top tier, decorative silk ivy and the tier set up pieces. WOW - what a deal. She purchased her cake topper from www.NWweddingplace.com, which was from the coastal mist wedding collection.

If you're looking for a cheap wedding cake, consider your local WalMart if it has a bakery dept. That deal is hard to beat...
