Cutting the Cake - what song are you playing??

My daughter did not have a cake cutting song. Nor did they cake smash. Any cake smashing and I would have had to kick both of their arses! Cake smashing in my world = tacky to the power of 10.

Cut da' TIng by Loxen Morre (some of the lyrics)

Well the reason we're here today is a great celebration So now we get to join in the festivities first we have have the bride and the knife and we sing.

The Bride cuts the cake Yeah cut it straight cut it nice The Bride cuts the cake Only cut once, no need to cut twice

Yeah, now you take the kniife and give it to your loving husband.... But don't give him the pointy end and he's gonna make a NIce! Big! Slice! we sing

The groom cuts the cake Cut it good don't make a mistake The groom cuts the cake careful now for the hand could shake

You can put de knife down now but please do so very carefully now the Bride she pick up de fork and she pick up de cake and the...

The Bride feeds the Groom get used to this now it's all your gonna do The Bride feeds the Groom every time you see him, you know you got to feed him

they say that turnabout is fair play I don't know...it's what they say this may be your last opportunity as the..

So did everyone just sit in silence as you sat there threatening them harm if they smooshed cake? LOL j/k you are hardcore Kathy!

I am pretty sure FH and I will not behave when it comes to the cake...we are joksters...I wouldn't say tacky to the power of 10 but maybe an 8

Cut the Cake, by Average White Band

When I'm Sixty Four, Beatles

@Dawn...LOL! No, no fear in the guests. LOL!

Too each their own on this one. Some love cake smashing, others hate it. I have a feeling it is one of those love it or hate it, not much middle ground, thing. LOL!

B'loved thats a cute song!

Thanks Dawn. FH found it on WW and wanted. I really don't care.

We are thinking about have the BP and our parents standing there with us as we cut the cake. FH and I think this will bring more attention to the cake cutting. Even though we are having cupcakes and cookies as well. (FH loves Ms Fields)

Ugh I love EAT IT! That is so funnnnnnyyy... I would think it's the best song ever! My server has "Cake or Death?" from Eddie Izzards "Dress to Kill" show engrabved on it.

We're using "Chocolate" by Sarah McLachlan

I honestly have no clue if we had a cake cutting song. We didn't specifically tell our DJ one. She may have played something? I have no clue. I'm sure if we didn't have anything playing, the silence wasn't the awkward part of our cake cutting. The awkward part was how it took us about 5 tries to actually lift out the slice of cake that we cut.

We didn't smash cake. The whole tradition of feeding each other the cake is to symbolize how the bride and groom will take care of each other. Personally, I feel smashing cake is disrespectful. My DH is a jokester too, but I warned him that I would be really upset with him if he smashed cake in my face. Luckily for him, he behaved

Train marry me

When I'm 64. Just seemed to be a great song to play for that.

We're thinking of using Sugar Sugar- the Archies

I'm SOOOO glad I read this thread, I totally havent thought of a cake song yet. Now I will.

Cake smashing is funny to watch. But I've already made a stern deal with FH: if he smashes cake on me, he will spend wedding night on the couch. joking, but also serious. If I'm taking hours to perfect my hair & makeup, why the heck do I want to ruin my beauty with sugar filled cake? Not to mention any lingering pieces smearing on my dress.

My SIL & brother did smash, she ended up washing half her makeup off.

Now I need to research songs

If i were a ship By Hey Ocean

Might be a little different but I love the words

(we will start it 54 seconds in)

So... I also need to think of a song to cut the cake to? Aggghhh! (LOL) Will anyone even notice that detail? Of any wedding I've been to, I can't remember a single song they cut the cake to. I guess, as long as it is meaningful to you both, than the decision should not even matter to anyone else, but the two of you! Best wishes on your marriage!

Amy: I guess that's why I didnt even think I need a song for it, cuz whose really gonna hear it? Isn't everyone focused on the cake, a song would be white noise right?

Im wondering about a song now, but may not even care to do it.

I don't remember the cutting the cake songs from the weddings I've been to but my DJ had it on his list so I was like "oh god, another song?!" lol thanks for the suggestions ladies FH likes 100 yrs so we will be going with that.

Now onto the anniversary song! Thinking about using "I won't give up" by Jason Mraz

A Wink and A Smile by Harry Connick Jr. There will be no smashing for us. If FH ruins my makeup or gets cake on my dress, I will be less than happy.
