1. When should the wedding cake be ready for ordering?

Generally speaking, the time is 3? 6 months, if you want to order handmade wedding cakes, popular brands or well-known traditional cake shops, it is also recommended to ask in advance before ordering!

Second, confirm the form of wedding cake and the needs of elders?

1. Wedding cakes are divided into "big bride price" and "small bride price".

■ Big bride price: mainly Longfeng wedding cake; Both dragons and phoenixes are representative totems of emperors, symbolizing auspiciousness and nobility, so they are gradually used to bless both men and women as a formal etiquette for announcing marriage.

■ Small dowry: it is mainly a general gift cake, and western-style cakes and Chinese cakes can be selected; It is used to convey good news (such as appointment adopted by the government) in various engagement (marriage) ceremonies to decorate the festive atmosphere.

Seek advice from elders

Marriage is a matter for two families, and the wedding cake is also an important issue of face. In particular, elders prefer traditional Chinese wedding cakes or the design of packaging atmosphere, while young people prefer simple and diverse western wedding cakes. In order to avoid disputes and unpleasant things afterwards, it is suggested to ask and adopt the opinions of elders in advance, choose two styles and tastes, take care of the needs of different ethnic groups, or choose a wedding cake that combines Chinese and western styles to save trouble.

Third, roughly estimate the number of wedding cake boxes (is there a difference between elder wedding cakes and peers? )

The estimation of wedding cake should be a headache for many newcomers. It is suggested to ask the elders about the expected number of cakes to be distributed first, and then the newcomers can calculate the number of wedding cakes for their friends themselves (guests at the banquet can grab about ten boxes of wedding cakes as preparation cakes on that day). You can also make a list when you make a preliminary estimate, so that they can check it when they divide the cake.

Generally speaking, after roughly estimating the approximate quantity, you can also negotiate with the store about the discount on the number of boxes when ordering wedding cakes! (However, basically, the store will still take the final discount of the total number of wedding cake orders as the standard. )

4. Who should I send the wedding cake to? How many gifts were returned? When is it time to order buns?

1. Who should I send the wedding cake to?

Basically, the woman gives cakes mainly, and the man gives cakes back to the man and presents them to relatives or friends. Part of the company can allocate the number of cakes according to the number of people. The wedding cake usually sent is also different because of the relationship between relatives and friends. Some people will give traditional cakes and western wedding cakes to familiar relatives or friends, while some neighbors usually receive traditional cakes.

2. How many gifts were returned?

In fact, the part of returning gifts to the man mainly depends on the number of times the two sides communicate to return gifts. Overall, back to 6? 12 boxes, mostly within 30 boxes.

3. When is the time to deliver the cake?

Pay attention to the timing of cake delivery and the number of preferential shipments of wedding cakes. Wedding cake is used by the woman's parents to announce good news in custom. Most people will distribute wedding cakes after the ceremony. However, due to the busy work of newcomers, the wedding ceremony on the same day is generally adopted. When can they choose to distribute cakes?

The following is for your reference:

■ Send the cake twice: get engaged and get married and send the wedding cake twice. ■ One-time cake distribution: directly distribute the wedding cake at the engagement party or wedding banquet. (mostly at engagement parties) ■ Hand-delivered cakes: Some elders think that personally delivering wedding cakes represents sincerity. ■ Delivery method on the day of the wedding reception: take the wedding cake directly after the gift is packaged, and issue a wedding cake card to claim it.

Five, about the custom of wedding cake.

Why do you want to send a wedding cake when you get married?

1. The origin of China wedding cake.

Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, in order to get back Jingzhou, Sun Quan betrothed his sister to Liu Bei as his wife, hoping to take Liu Bei as a hostage. After Zhuge Liang saw through this trick, he presented it to Liu Bei and decided to make a fake play.

So Liu Bei and I decided to make a gift for the people of Wu Dong first, so that Liu Bei and Sun Quan's sister could get married. We tried to make this marriage a reality. At that time, a skilled old master made a Chinese wedding cake with a dragon and phoenix pattern to symbolize the auspicious appearance of dragons and phoenixes.

This kind of cake has both the crisp flavor of Jingzhou and the sweet characteristics of Wu Dong, so it is distributed to all households. Zhuge Liang also wrote a ballad: "Liu Bei came to marry Wu Dong, and the wedding cake was the media evidence", which made this marriage a household name. Sun Quan had to put on an act and really married his sister to Liu Bei. The so-called "Zhou Lang's coup to protect the world, lost his wife and lost his soldiers" came from this.

Tell friends and relatives the good news that we are getting married.

Traditionally, the wedding cake is selected by the woman and bought by the man to repay the kindness of his parents, and then distributed to her relatives and friends.

Most people are concerned about whether the newlyweds can eat their own "wedding cake".

Traditionally, the bride's parents will tell the bride not to eat her own wedding cake for the following reasons:

1. Brides-to-be are not allowed to eat wedding cakes sent by men, otherwise the bride will be "dumbfounded" in the future, that is, cheeky and not modest.

2. Eating a complete round cake means that the marriage will be incomplete because there is a corner missing.

If the bride-to-be eats her engagement wedding cake, it means eating her happiness, but some people say that they can eat it without worship. Doubtful brides-to-be can "try" several brands when buying wedding cakes, which can not only compare the quality and taste, but also make up for the regret of not eating their own wedding cakes.

More strictly, you can't eat other people's wedding cakes within six months after marriage. Marriage customs and taboos vary from family to family and may vary slightly according to local/family customs. I suggest that you give priority to customs as much as possible.

Sixth, make an appointment with your favorite store to try it (you must ask questions when ordering a wedding cake)

Seven, after the identification, decide the store and confirm the delivery time.

After determining the wedding cake shop, the most important thing is to communicate the delivery time of the wedding cake. Usually, wedding cake shops can limit the number and amount of wedding cakes ordered. Newcomers can ask whether there are free door-to-door delivery and door-to-door pick-up services in the province, and they must repeatedly confirm the delivery time and date with the store to ensure timely delivery. Remember to order on the spot when you receive the goods, so as to avoid shortage of boxes or incorrect contents.

Tips for ordering wedding cakes

1. Price/discount/gift

As the saying goes, it's not a loss to shop around. Don't be afraid of trouble when buying a wedding cake. Find more information about prices and preferential items. Generally, as long as a certain quantity or amount is booked, there will be discounts, especially if the quantity is large, there will be more bargaining space.

Some wedding cake companies provide wedding cards, incense sticks, four-color candy, tea tray sets, wedding candy, wedding candy boxes, wedding candy baskets, jewelry boxes, signature silk and so on. Even wooden boxes for engagement and wedding gold boxes can be rented, and newcomers can compare in many ways. As for useless gifts, you can also ask the store whether you can exchange them for cake money or other gifts, which can save you a sum of money.

Step 2 Pay/Order

Ask about the deposit and payment method, whether to accept cash, remittance or credit card; In addition, how much deposit should I pay first after placing an order, and when should I pay the "final payment"? If I order a more favorable discount, or want to exchange it for other styles, can I transfer it in full? Found that the number of boxes was insufficient and needed to be replenished afterwards. Are the prices calculated at the same preferential price? It is recommended to ask the store in advance to avoid disputes afterwards.

3. Quality/shelf life

Avoid ordering wedding cakes with short shelf life. You can ask the store about the number of days after the delivery of the wedding cake and know the time to send the wedding cake, so that relatives and friends will not expire soon after receiving it.
