Cake pull etiquette?!?

I have always participated in cake pulls as a single person up until my cousin got married and she chose to do pulls without "the ring" so I was allowed to participate even though I was engaged. I like the idea of including other girls who are friends who were not asked to stand in the wedding but I also like the idea of the single ladies only since that's what I've always know and I'm skipping the bouquet toss. What is cake pull etiquette? How is everyone handling their cake pulls? Can engaged girls participate since they are not married yet?

I looked it up and it seems like charms are placed under the cake with a ribbon attached and all single females pull on one of the ribbons. Each charm has a different meaning.
That's what I found on google

The history of cake pulls can be traced back to Victorian times. Originally called “ribbon pulling,” a bride would place tiny charms of fortune in the wedding cake for her single friends. Still popular with modern southern brides, sterling silver charms are placed inside the cake and attached to ribbons or bracelets.
This is from google and it seems kind of weird... Can you explain more OP??

Sorry I didn't realize it wasn't well known. Yes, it's charms that are attached to ribbons or bracelets that go in the base of the cake. There is usually a ring charm and whoever pulls the ring charm is supposedly the next to get married. It's an alternative to the bouquet toss but most wedding I have gone too do both. There are also other charms that have various meaning like a four leaf clover for a life full of luck, a carriage for a life full of travel, a bean for a life full of wealth, etc

Oh and to answer your question: though I've never been to or witnessed this, I think it'd be fine for engaged ladies to participate.

The ribbons or bracelets are hidden in the back of the cake. You choose which ones you want and the bakery will place them right in the base underneath the icing. You choose single ladies (or do neutral charms without the ring and let anyone participate) and they all choose a random pull, stand by it, and pull then out simultaneously. It's exciting and makes for great pictures!
