Toasting Flutes/Cake Cutting Set

[hatfiehm]

so its funny I just found this thread.  Went home to my moms this weekend and she showed me the cake serving set and the toasting flutes that she bought for FI and I for the wedding.  I felt like such a jerk, but I was like "MOM!  How are we going to get those down south?"  Luckily I didnt hurt her feelings too much, we both laughed because she said, I dont know, i was going to give them to you to bring down.  I talked her into returning them or giving them to someone else for their wedding.

 

Its sooo not worth the hassle.  (plus they were VERY frufru-shishi.... not my style at ALL)  I like to keep it simple, thats why we HAD the destination wedding to begin with!

 

Unfortunately i didnt know how to break it to her that a white satin wedding album is not really my style either.  sooooo I will have to bite the bullet on that one.  But seriously, white satin??? will people need to wear gloves to look at our wedding album????  I mentioned that it would be hard to keep clean and that it would get dusty, and she told me that I had to keep it in the box????? OR i could wash it.  How does one wash a photoalbum???  LOL.  gotta love mom-logic!

Don't you just love moms?  lol!

 

I was just thinking about this.  I have no idea if my resort has cake cutting sets or if I need to bring some down with me.  Do you ladies know if most resorts have them?

I hope my resort provides them because that is one thing I do not want to bring down!!  My list of things to bring is starting to get pretty long!!!

I purchased my own flutes and cake server set and had no issues when I put it in our luggage.  Tip - keep it in it's original box and travel with it like, they shouldn't break.  I found a Lenox set at Macys for $15 each.

Just got word back from my resort and they do have some we can use there.  Thank heavens!!  Don't want to bring anything more down than we already are. lol!

I'd be shocked if a resort did NOT have champagne flutes and cake cutters. Weddings aside, resorts serve champagne/sparkling wine and cake during the normal course of business.
 

But now that I think of it, it's always better to ask and be sure than to assume!

I was thinking the same thing but if I didn't check, I know that would be on my mind constantly!

I want to bring ours.. We're not planning on packing our OOT bags. going to give them to our guests at the air port so this frees up a lot of space!

Another thing to put on the list to ask the resort, but I assume they'll have one.  As we bought so much stuff for the OOT bags, I'm getting one more thing I have to pack!
