cake drama!

mmansfield82

Here's the scoop.  We ordered our cake and decided to pick it up the day before and drop it off at the venue - delivery was ridiculously expensive and both the venue and the bakery told us it wasn't worth it.  We realized yesterday that it might not fit in my FI's car and it would probably be too heavy for us to get into the venue on our own.  I went to the bakery and spoke with the manager and she called the "headquarters" in charge of everything and I spoke with the head lady.  They said it would all be fine and it could still be delivered.

I know this is silly, but I am paranoid to just take someone's word for it all.  The head honcho lady is supposed to call me back to confirm it all today and make sure that the address and all that is set, but I'm still nervous.

Am I just being crazy to be concerned like this?  Should I just call back to confirm things for sure a couple of days before the wedding?

I wouldn't worry about it now. I would just call a couple of days before the wedding to confirm the delivery time.

Yes, you're being crazy for worry about this now.

Give someone in your bridal party the task of calling to make sure it's there, and making sure that it arrives on time, and tracking it down and getting it there if it doesn't.

There are much worse things you could be dealing with. You're marrying the man of your dreams, STOP WORRYING ABOUT A CAKE.

I don't think this is a very respectful idea. Your bridal party isn't there to be at your beck and call. It is you and FI's cake so you need to handle the situation. Call a couple days before hand and confirm all the details. Give them specific instruction that they are to call your cell or FI's cell when the cake has been delivered.

I agree with rknox88.  Your bridal are your closest family members/friends that have been hand picked to share your day.  Too many people think the MOH or Best Man (mainly MOH) is there to plan the wedding.  WRONG!  Your wedding, your arrangements.

for your own peace of mind, send an email to the main office that starts with...

Please thank (name) for reassuring me that our wedding cake (for the future Mr. & Mrs. John Doe) will be delivered to  (name) Country Club on (date and time).  

This way the head office knows what you expect and if there is a mixup, you have evidence for any court case.

Thanks for the input all )  The woman in charge of things actually called me yesterday.  She emailed me some extra info and everything is set.  I totally feel better.    I guess it was pretty silly to be worried over it!
