Timing for the Wedding Cake Cutting ① Right After the Reception Begins

The first case we will introduce is cutting the cake right after the reception begins.* The newlyweds will either cut the cake right after their entrance, or if there are congratulatory speeches from guests, it will be done after receiving those speeches.◎ Let’s start the reception in a grand fashion by doing the cake cutting before the toast.♡

By cutting the cake before the toast, the guests will focus on the cake cutting, allowing you to gather their attention.* This timing creates a sense of unity in the venue and is highly recommended.◎

Additionally, if the couple shares the cake with each other in a [First Bite], receives cake from their mother in a [Last Bite], shows an example to parents and friends in an [Example Bite], or expresses gratitude to close friends in a [Thanks Bite], it will be a focal point for the guests, making it easier to create a memorable moment using the wedding cake! That’s another point to consider.♡

Cutting the cake before the meal starts can slightly shorten the dining time, so it’s a way to make effective use of the limited time of the wedding.* You can create a fun atmosphere similar to entertainment, or you can proceed with the cake cutting as a leisurely performance, both of which are lovely options.♡

Timing for the Wedding Cake Cutting ④ During the Dessert Buffet

Finally, let’s introduce the method of cutting the cake during a dessert buffet.* When the cake cutting takes place at the dessert buffet, smaller cakes for cutting will be used since there’s no time to serve larger ones to the guests.◎
