Cake Cutting Song?

APD, on June 22, 2017 at 11:57 AM Posted in Planning 0 60

Something I honest to goodness hadn't thought of until we had our final meeting with the DJ last night. I don't really want to do something that is so often heard for a cake cutting song and I'm well aware that I am overthinking this completely. And also that nobody will remember it in a week or even the next day.

Would it be weird to do "Be Our Guest" for the song? I like it for what it is saying, be our guest, relax, have fun as the reception is a party after all. There are no other Disney elements to the wedding at all.

What are you doing for your cake cutting song?

    We used the Star Wars Cantina song - it's catchy but not overbearing, And it took us longer than we planned to cut the damn cake, so it played on a loop a couple of times.

    I personally like Be Our Guest, but it's all personal preference. :-)

    We did sugar by maroon 5 I think. Honestly--this song get played for maybe 20 sec...(at our wedding at least), so I would not put a lot of weight into it. But I do love a good Disney nod, so your song would be fine.

    We're using "Cake by the Ocean" because we wanted something that gave us a laugh. And all of our friends think it's hilarious. But I like the Be Our Guest song Smiley smile

    Yeah, I had no idea that the cake cutting song was even a thing! I've never noticed it at weddings that I've attended. We're using Sugar Sugar by The Archies. I think Be Our Guest is a good choice!

    We used "Love You Madly" by Cake. It was a little tongue-in-cheek (I think H and I are the only ones who listen to that band among our families) but perfect.

    I'm just letting my DJ pick something. There's no way FH and I, or our guests, are going to remember what song we cut the cake to in 10 years.

    I was thinking of "Going the Distance" by Cake. I thought it was cute because of the title and artist...and then I looked at the lyrics:

    ...But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns

    And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

    He's going the distance

    He's going for speed

    She's all alone, all alone in her time of need...

    No trophy, no flowers, no flash bulbs, no wine

    He's haunted by something he cannot define

    Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse

    Assail him, impale him with monster truck force

    Well. That's a little darker than I thought! Do you think anyone will notice, or will they just focus on title and artist and be all "Heh. Cute." ??

    I very randomly chose Believer by Smash Mouth. Shrek happened to be on TV and I thought it was an upbeat feel good song. I doubt anyone was paying attention to the actual song! My second choice would have something by Bruno Mars.

    I was thinking of Cake by the Ocean but some of my students informed me that it's about having sex on the beach. I probably could have figured that out if I'd listened to any of the lyrics besides the refrain. Still, it made me feel pretty lame ... I'm only 10-15 years older than my college students but I guess that makes a big difference!

    Some Jack Johnson song. We went through the recommended list on my DJs website and my husband "Yeah, that one's fine."
