Years ago, most people didn’t put much thought into their wedding cake topper. Most cake toppers of the day were fairly mundane, consisting of a traditional plastic bride and groom. Boy, have things changed! Today’s weddings are planned right down to the most minute detail, and one of the biggest decisions is choosing the right wedding cake. Of course, the crowning glory for the cake is usually the cake topper. It’s the part people see first, as it often stands out from the icing.

At many receptions, the wedding cake is used as a focal point, and it can help set the tone and atmosphere of the entire party. For example, if you want your reception to be more formal, you should go with a traditional cake topper. Letter wedding cake toppers would fit this situation nicely. On the other hand, if you want your reception to be more laid back and fun, consider one of the funny wedding cake toppers.

The wedding cake and cake topper can say a lot about the bride and groom, too. It can reveal your personalities, your interests, your hobbies, your attitudes, and your sense of humor.

Reveal your great sense of humor with funny wedding cake toppers. If you place your wedding cake near the entryway to your reception, it will be the first thing your guests see when they walk through the door. If they’re greeted by a cake with one of these funny wedding cake toppers, they’ll automatically feel more at ease and be ready to have a plast at your wedding “throw down”!

If the groom or the bride, or both, are into angling, fishing wedding cake toppers would be a good choice. I wish these had been available when my husband and I got married 22 years ago! We both love to fish, and in fact, we spent most of our honeymoon enjoying some saltwater fishing. This would have been a perfect choice for us. All our family members and friends know how much we love fishing, so they would have completely understood our choice of cake topper.

I got married the first time when I was eighteen years old, to a cowboy. His family owned a large cattle operation, and he worked cows on horseback almost every day. In his spare time, he rode bulls and bareback broncs in rodeos, so I think he qualifies as a real cowboy. At the time, I was very into horses and Western riding, too, and I actually wanted us to day our vows on horseback. My mother had a real problem with this, however, so we did the traditional church wedding thing. If Western wedding cake toppers had been available in 1976, I would certainly have chosen one!

Are you and your future spouse unique, edgy, creative, or different? If so, you might want to check out these unusual wedding cake toppers. You don’t have to stick with the tired old bride and groom anymore. You can express yourself with flair!

I’m including ethnic wedding cake toppers here. Not that I think it’s unusual for a non-white couple to get married, but for years, ethnic couples had few choices when it came to cake toppers. Fortunately, today all kinds of couples can find cake toppers that include figures who are white, Hispanic, black, or Asian. If the bride and groom are of different ethnic groups, some of the figures can be purchased separately!
