Deciding on a topper for your wedding cake is an important decision. You want something that’s tasteful and beautiful, while still being personal. To get you started, here are five awesome ideas for custom cake toppers!
Name/Monogram – This is maybe the most popular form of cake topper. Often made of twisted metal or wire, or painted onto a wooden sign, many couples top their cakes with their last name, their last initial, their two first names, their wedding date, or some combination of any of these. They can even include a grander design, such as a silhouette of a couple kissing, or a tree with a swing!
Figurines – You can adorn your cake with small figurines, either customized or already made. These can range from sweet and sentimental, to goofy and funny: A bride and groom kissing, two animals dressed like they’re getting married, a groom falling through the cake, a bride dragging a groom away from a TV. If you’re ordering one made special, you can really get creative and express your personality. Plus, you can later have strings attached and have the figurines double as Christmas tree ornaments!
Painted Clothespins – A clothespin with a little paint and decoration can be made to look like a couple kissing at the altar! This is a simpler version of the plastic figurines. You could even make this at home, if you’re into arts and crafts!
LEGO – If you and your partner are big kids at heart, a LEGO topper might be what you’re looking for. You can use just the two plastic people, or you can go crazy with a full LEGO altar, if you can get ahold of the right sets. (Recruit a young relative to help put this together, for extra fun!)
Custom Bobblehead – This might be the priciest option on this list, but if you’re feeling extravagant, there’s nothing more fun than a bobblehead! Order two made in the likeness of you and your spouse, and even have them dressed up in little costumes, like baseball uniforms or space suits. Everyone will get a kick out of the bobble versions of you two, and these will make for lasting keepsakes!
From the simple and sweet to the fun and ridiculous, there are cake topper options to suit anyone’s personality!
