Toasting Flutes/Cake Cutting Set

I searched for a thread on this but wasn't able to find one. I was just wondering how many of ya'll were bringing your own toasting flutes and cake cutting set or if anyone was just going to use what the resort has?

I was hesitent on buying toasting flutes because I figured they wouldn't make the flight down but I found some that were too cute not to buy so I am just going to have my FI carry them on as his smaller personal item.

I have beautiful flutes that my FMIL gave us when we got engaged but I am not bringing them down I plan on just using whatever the resort has. I will have so much other stuff to bring and am afraid they would break. Just one less thing to worry about!

I purchased mine from Things Remembered and I am bringing them down there with us and using them again for the home reception.

I've been looking at this exact set!! It's so pretty

What are your plans to get it there & back safely?

Actually it comes in a very sturdy case that contains all the items so I am not worried about it much.  I will have to put it in the checked luggage since there are technically two knives in it but I am really not worried.  I'll pad it with bubble wrap and clothes...and pray.

I actually got them at Maya Couture, which is the place I bought my dress from, but I found them online at David's Bridal also

I didn't bring flutes or cake cutters to my destination for the same reason. As it was we filled 1 1/2 suitcases with wedding supplies, and I tried very hard to bring as little as possible.

However I have read posts from lots of brides who did bring their own. I guess it depends on who offers their suitcase space, shipping costs to your destination, number of guests, personal preference, etc. I flew down 2 ring bearer pillows with shells on them. Because of the shells, they had to be padded, which took up even more room than just the pillows themselves. They took up a lot of space and weren't an absolute necessity, but I wanted them!
