Nerdy Weddings

R2 & BB8 Cake Topper we LOVE Hey y'all! Do we have any nerdy brides/grooms out there? Or did you guys have any nerdy touches on your wedding? My FH hasn't had much of a say in the wedding planning process, by choice, but he really wants a say in the cake.. I'm trying to not make it too goofy, as the rest of the décor will be very romantic. But what type of touches could we have on the wedding to let him show his Video Game Lover/Star Wars kind of side?

So far, we're considering a pretty cake but with a cool topper. What else could we do?

Here's the R2D2 & BB8 Cake topper we love: https://www.etsy.com/listing/269937371/wedding-cake-topperstar-wars-cake?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=star+wars+cake+topper+wedding&ref=sr_gallery-1-20&organic_search_click=1&frs=1&col=1

What all did you guys have in mind - Any ideas? Smiley heart

    Lol super nerdy! Lol our cake topper is Mario and princess peach and his grooms cake is going to be a D20! We also found some ps4 chocolate controllers that we are thinking about doing as favors, but they are kind of expensive lol so we'll probably just do coffee in the these mario boxes.

    That is a great topper, love the level up with date and name! And fun gift boxes

    My daughter is having Peach and (surprise) Bowser in wedding attire amiibos as her cake topper.

    The table numbers will be video games they love and they will also have an 'Achievement Unlocked - Married' on her sweetheart table. We are also looking at a 'loading' heart sign for the ceremony and trying to figure out a maybe making a Companion Cube gift card box.

    Yeah - nerds

    Thanks! It was hard to balance nerd and classy at the same time but it is possible!!! If you’re interested in the figures or the ring holder - I bought the figures at a store (regular color) and the ring holder (white) from Etsy and then hired a miniature painter to paint them our colors. Then I added them in boxes with either sand or blue in the “perfect” scenes according to my husband.
    I added them into the tables like the sign table, etc.
    Additionally, some of the signs we did were low key Star Wars that said, “Come to the Dark Side: We Have Candy,” “I love you. I know.” “Grateful we are. Favor you take.” And “Leave your cards(and intergalactic secrets) here”

    One thing I am doing is a cake topper, not sure if I want it Disney or Star Wars yet though. I’ve found a couple I like. I’m also going to add little Mickey head flower picks. Our guest book is going to be UP themed 😊 I’m still in early stages of planning so even thinking of this much already is good lol

    I had a corsage made from comics and carried a replica of River Song's journal from Doctor Who. We also had wedding rubber ducks as part of an inside joke. I don't have a picture but when guests returned from the ceremony, instead of the sign asking guests to put their phones away during the ceremony, there was a heart shaped sign with the words "Mischief Managed" in its place.

    Cake toppers are an easy way to add a touch of nerd and can still be elegant. We chose a topper with the words "I Choose You" which some thought referred to Pokémon but was actually from a song we used as our first dance and means a lot to us.

    I super love the Disney touch too! Ugh - So cute! I wanted to do some theme park touches as well, but make mine Universal Studios themed a little more. But it's tough, not nearly as many Universal things are out there as Disney. (Plus we're getting married on a UO property, so that forces my hand a bit too.) But that Repunzel topper is just soooo adorable.

    These cake toppers are adorable!! My husband is a big Star Wars fan too. I like the second one more, but that would just be my preference.
