Another place where couples have been catering to their personal preferences is dessert!! The traditional multi-tiered wedding cake is no longer a staple of every wedding reception, with cupcakes, cookies, candy, pies, and donuts joining the party!

Will you have a traditional wedding cake, or a more modern dessert option?

Semi-modern: we are having a cake but not a large one, maybe just two tiers, and then we will have donuts

We'll be more modern on this. I would like pies, cookies, and fruit at the dessert table. FH wants cake on his wedding day, so we will have a small cake to cut and sheet cake for guests.
