Ring Bearer Suits

The ring bearer is usually a very important part of a wedding ceremony. His job, to bring the rings to the groom, is very important. Let's be honest, he's not really carrying the REAL rings. Typically the best man has the rings, however the ring bearer's job is traditional, therefore very important.

I have witnessed children of all ages as the ring bearer. Heck, I have even seen dogs walk down the ring pillow! (And YES, I think that's adorable too!) The fact of the matter is that many children are younger as the ring bearer and flower girl, so how do you find a comfortable suit to accommodate the young bridal party member?

Recently, the Baby Boy's 5 Piece Suit with Vest and Tie have been extremely popular. So popular, in fact, that I used one for my little man for my 2012 wedding! The nice part about these suits? They are the BEST quality and extremely affordable. I know this because I was looking at triple the price just to rent a suit for my 1 year old, and I wouldn't have been able to keep it as a keepsake either!

The 5 pieces include:

• Slacks
• Jacket
• Vest
• Long Sleeve White Shirt
• Tie

And you can most likely find a color to coordinate with your wedding too. Lito makes these suits in

• Dark Gray
• Light Gray
• Khaki
• Navy
• Black

History of the Grooms Cake

As with many traditions, the grooms cake is an old wedding tradition that has found it's way back into modern cultures. Originated in the south,  the grooms cake was a separate cake, in addition to the main wedding cake, usually in a different style, flavor and color than the main cake, that was designed around and about the groom. It was intended to be a present from the bride to the groom, and thus, was usually about something the groom loved (besides the bride!). It was generally dark, and had 'masculine' themes such as sports, hunting, etc. Over time, as weddings became less extravagant, the cake began to be seen as an unnecessary expense and was phased out from wedding ceremonies.

As all old things come back in fashion, the grooms cake too is making a big comeback in weddings. Couples with disposable incomes are splurging big time on a day that will come once in their lifetime, and are experimenting with their ceremonies. The groom's cake, thus, becomes a good idea to invest in, adding a layer of 'retro cool' to the ceremony.

The purpose of the groom's cake can be many. It can serve as a dessert at the rehearsal dinner, or can be an alternative choice to the main bridal cake at the wedding. Custom dictates that the cake be placed next to the bride's cake at the ceremony. It is then cut into wedges and placed in boxes to be given out to guests. Such slices can even serve as a wedding favor (thus eliminating one expense!). You can have the cake placed in stylized boxes and add a further layer of 'chutzpah' to the ceremony.

Legend has it that single women who sleep with a slice of the groom's cake under their pillows dream of their future husband that night. While you of course don't have to compel the single women to take this course, it can make for a wonderful excuse to have this cake at your wedding!
