While the cutting of the cake is just one part of your entire celebration, the knife and serving set you select should enhance the overall theme and ambiance of your wedding.
With so many different choices available, how do you select just the right one? Here are six things to consider that can help you do just that.
To Engrave or Not to Engrave Since a wedding knife and cake server is something that will last for years to come, many couples choose to have theirs engraved (typically with their names and wedding date).
Sound like something you want? Make sure any sets you are considering can easily be engraved (preferably by the retailer you are purchasing the set from).
Quality of the Material To ensure the set doesn't easily rust or tarnish, look for sets that have stainless steel blades and handles.
You can also find beautiful knives and cake servers made of precious metals (such as platinum or white gold) and with wood and crystal handles.
What's Your Budget? As with virtually every other aspect of your wedding, it's important to determine how much you want to spend on a wedding server set (no matter how seemingly minor the purchase may seem).
You'll find cost on sets can range from as little as $20 to more than $100.
Color Preference While you'll find that most wedding knives and cake servers come in silver, there are many available in other hues including gold, white, and ivory.
Lovely Accents Many sets come with beautiful accents on the handles, such as organza ribbons or silk bows.
If you've found the perfect set sans the accents you want, you can easily add your own! Match the Set Unsure of what to do with your set after the wedding? Here's an idea: select a wedding server set that matches your chosen wedding china and silverware set.
That way you'll be able to use them long after the wedding is over.
