Cake Cutting Song?

Something I honest to goodness hadn't thought of until we had our final meeting with the DJ last night.

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?

    Were thinking "How Sweet It Is". But definitely following this for inspiration!

    We did Married Life from Up, the only Disney related thing at our wedding. I wanted so badly for it to be our first dance but we were too inexperienced at ballroom dancing for it to work.

    Be Our Guest is one of my favorite songs, and the music for the cake cutting is like 2 seconds and I barely remember hearing any music. Too focused on cake!

    I wanted to do How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You by James Taylor, but I do love Grow Old With You from The Wedding Singer now that I read some of your choices! I'll have to consult with FH Smiley smile

    Joe Jonas explained what Cake by the Ocean means...

    http://www.mtv.com/news/2277755/joe-jonas-dnce-cake-by-the-ocean-means/

    "Working on the record, these Swedish producers that we were working with, they kept confusing 'sex on the beach' with 'cake by the ocean,' so that's how the song started," Joe explained. "Then, it became this kind of lyrically wacky song, and it kind of embodies the band. It's funky, it's fresh, I think it's something that people can dance to."

    I wanted Sugar by Maroon 5 but FH wants Honey Bee by Blake Shelton. I didn't have strong feelings so we're going with that.

    I love Be Our Guest! We're using Sugar by Maroon 5 since -sugar- and a maroon 5 song was playing when we got engaged so we liked that it was a nod to that. Other options were Sugar, Sugar by The Archies and I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) by the Four Seasons.

    I had no idea a cake cutting song was a thing. The things I learn on WW.

    I like the idea of the Grow Old song from the Wedding Singer. I'll have to think on this!

    @Mrs.VtoBe we're going to ask the DJ to play the same song!! Haha. FH knows O.T.'s manager and he's always singing that song so I thought it would be perfect.
