One of the most fun (and often easiest) parts of developing a theme wedding is deciding the menu; theme-wedding menus create a fun, exciting, and memorable event.

Before you begin your cake quest, enquire whether your venue has certain regulations regarding wedding cakes. Some require that you use particular bakers (in-house or otherwise), while others may charge a fee for using your own.

If you have your hopes set on a marquee name, get on his or her calendar as soon as possible.
