I love cake toppers. I don’t know why, but I just think they’re awesome. I got pretty obsessed with them early on in the planning process, because it’s something that I can buy early! And it can just sit there until it’s time to use it. I love planning ahead.

So, I began the cake topper search pretty early, and I learned very quickly that all cake toppers tend to fall in one of 7 categories. So, I figured step one would be to pick a category, then I could go from there.

What are these categories you ask? Well, let me tell you about them:

1- The classic cake topper:

It’s cute and simple and…

Blah. I wanted something with personality! And excitement! And fun! This just didn’t say any of that to me.

2- The funny, “anti-wedding” cake topper:

Also under this category is the “ball and chain” cake topper - you know you’ve seen it. I’m just going to go ahead and be really harsh on this one – I hate these. The last thing I want to hint at on my wedding day is that I’ve drug my fiance there or that marrying me makes him unhappy in any way. I really just don’t think these are funny. So, obviously, they were out.

3- The bird cake topper:

Drool! I love these little guys – they are so freaking adorable. Just seeing them puts a smile on my face. My only concern with these is that they are such a huge trend right now – would they be overplayed?

4- The animal cake topper:

How cute are those mooses? (Moose? Meese? How do you say that?!) I love these cake toppers and I think they’re such a fun way to add a little personality to your cake. The only problem – how the hell do you pick what animal you want to be?!

5- The monogram cake topper:

These are so fun and modern – I like them a lot! I’ve seen them a lot lately and I think they are a great alternative to the more traditional cake toppers.

6 – The wooden people cake topper:

Oh, you adorable little faceless people. These guys make my heart smile. They are just so freaking cute and quirky. Love. Them.

And, just for fun, our last category:

7 – The completely inappropriate cake topper:

Oh my – I don’t even know what to say about these people. Let’s save that for after the reception, shall we? Thanks.

So, which category do you think our cake topper came from? You’ll just have to wait to find out!

What’s your favorite cake topper category? And don’t those kissing people just make you uncomfortable?!
