Thanks for weighing in on the whole receiving line thing. So far, it seems pretty evenly divided among people who did have a receiving line and those who didn't! I'll reveal the results tomorrow. But now here's my next detail dilemma: Do I get a cake topper or have no cake topper at all?
Personally, I think flowers decorating a cake are more than enough, and very simple yet elegant, kind of like my friend Christina's cake at her wedding last October:
But then I see really cute cake-toppers and I get all torn again. They're a great personal touch, can be creative and make for great photos. For instance, my friend Ashley
made her cake-topper and it was such a great addition to their cake:
I realize it doesn't really matter one way or the other, but that didn't stop me from scouring the internet for cute cake topper ideas:
This one is cute, but it's not customizable and that doesn't look like Chris at all

There's also these paint your own, which bridesmaid Cassie has offered to do for me! I like these a lot, but my main concern is that they'll be too small for my large cake and will get completely lost on it! But right now, this is my number one contender.
These are pipecleaners!! How adorable and creative?!
We could go more traditional:

Or go just for the good old "D" initial topper:

I think this is neat too!
I like the penguins and they would be a homage to my nephew cat, Penguin!

I'm gonna kick myself for including this one because this will be the one that Chris will want:
This is not the direction I'm going for at all....not to mention it's $300!!:

Or I could forgo the cake topper (and expense) and have our florist do a nice green and purple flower arrangement on the top of our cake...truthfully, this is what I'm leaning toward.
What do you think??
