Some families keep their cake server and knife and pass this keepsake off to their children for their wedding as a delightful surprise.

The wedding toast or flute glass has a long history dating back to the days of the Greeks of the sixth century B.C. The Greeks would pour wine from a common pitcher. The host would drink from his glass to ensure his guests there was no poison placed into the wine.

Today the wedding toast is performed to wish the couple the best of health and best wishes. Toasts are expected to be performed with some type of sparkling beverage (no coffee, tea, milk, or water, these beverages are considered bad luck and would be an insult to the wedding guests). The clinking of the glasses are said to ward off evil spirits and words from the toast master (generally the best man) to provide collective feelings of everyone in attendance of the special event. A wedding toast ends the formal part of the wedding ceremony, let the celebration begin!

Wedding cake toppers have a rich cultural history, most historians agree that they first hit the social scene in the 1890's. The idea of wedding toppers including the bride and groom had expanded in 1927 when a wedding topper featuring the bride and groom started appearing in the Sears and Roebuck mail order catalog included on a page of wedding cake ornaments. Later in the 20th century variations on the bride and groom became more vogue including silver bells, lovebirds, doves, cherubs, cupids, and many others. Materials used to make wedding toppers run the gamut.

You want to be sure you have all items ordered for your wedding day about two months prior to the wedding to leave plenty of time to resolve issues with any orders.  You should have all wedding ceremony articles in possession two weeks prior to the wedding. Try to avoid wedding sites that don't have a phone contact number or customer service number, in the event issues come up regarding your order. If your budget is a strong issue, you don't need to go too elaborate on the wedding ceremony, try to combine decorations with other weddings at the wedding venue or use decorations at both the wedding ceremony and wedding reception site. You can also touch base with other churches in the area, to see if they might have the item you want at your wedding.

See you on the other side!
