A small detail: Magnificent cakes

Cake delivery takes lots of coordination. Complex cakes may not be delivered in their final form so make sure you allow enough time and space for assembly. Refrigeration might also be required. 

A small detail: Love your little ones

If inviting little ones ask them to bring plus one in form of cuddly toy. Arrange for a toy table with some spare place cards where they can write who is joining them.

A small detail: Close the bar momentarily

Consider closing the bar during the seated dinner portion and serve only wine and soft drinks. You can save as much as two drinks per person by opting for a no service dinner.

A small detail: Save money when ordering your cake

Order a small cake that is perfectly decorated but can only feed a handful of your guests plus several sheet cakes of the same flavor that you can use to feed your guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sugar flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant, but less expensive effect. If you'll have a dessert table or candy buffet in addition to the cake, consider ordering a cake to feed half your guests.
