Apple cider donuts or more?

I think that would be enough, but if you are really concerned, maybe you can offer a cheap alternate choice like chocolate chip cookies, too. Just to give some sort of variety, especially to the picky eaters.

I agree with Danielle. I would offer maybe one other option of something simple like a cookie. I personally don't like cider donuts/most donuts in general (I know, I'm weird lol) so I would appreciate having another option!

Personally, I think whatever the dessert(s) is(are), there should be enough for everyone. So if you're having a Nothing Bundt Cake for yourselves, I'd have enough for all your guests, and if you also want donuts, have those for your guests as well. I'm not a big donut fan, and except for maybe a brunch, don't really see them as a wedding dessert -- especially if the B&G have any kind of cake for themselves, I'd be bummed about an after dinner donut. (Part of this is that I think donuts have to be "just made fresh" or they tend to be dry & chewy; I don't think I've ever had a donut that was good hours after it was made.)

I LOVE that idea!!

I personally don't like apple cider flavored anything, so I wouldn't want to eat the dessert. Maybe order a plain sheet cake from a grocery store!

I understand needing to choose your dessert so it fits within your budget (daughter did a TON of comparison shopping on the cake to find one that she loved that fit her budget, so, truly, I get it), but I'd also caution you that choosing something for yourselves that is "too expensive" to serve to your guests sends a weird (and potentially not very polite) message to those guests. It would be like the couple being served filet mignon, but then serving their guests hamburgers because it would be ridiculously expensive to serve them filet mignon.... Clearly, you can do whatever you want, but you asked for feedback. I'd probably keep looking for something that you like/fits your overall wedding style and you can afford to serve to everyone.

This is what we are doing. A small cake to cut and a butt load of donuts.

I don' think it's weird at all to just have a small cake, I totally get it. Keep the tradition of cutting the cake but get to have a dessert that's actually tasty and specific to you guys! I agree with Danielle, especially with something so specific like apple cider donuts, give them one more option. Maybe cupcakes, some could be a fall flavor and the rest chocolate for the simple dessert people. Or the donuts with some fall pie options, a few apple, pecan and some pumpkin! So cute and cheap.

I'm actually doing something like that for my wedding too. I'm hoping for the doughnuts but i'm for sure having apple cider. I"m getting married in the fall in October, and that's BIG time apple season here in Michigan. If I do favors i'm doing mini apple pies

I think that is enough. many people do cupcakes now a days in lieu of a cake so i imagine a donut would be the same. my bridesmaids suggested donuts to me before ahah mainly because i think she wanted donuts. i personally, love CRONUTS. those are literally my favorite thing - it's a cross between a croissant and a donut.

i don't see anything wrong with you getting one small bundt cake to cut and donuts for everyone else. there are a ton of people and even i, had thought of getting a small cake just for the purpose of cake cutting and then serving guests something else like cupcakes.
