Wedding Cake Charms

in Louisiana-Baton Rouge
Even though I am in Houston TX, most of my family is from Louisiana and that is where my parents were married. I even have "eaux" at the end of my last name. ^.^ My parents 30th anniversary came up this past Monday, July 18th and I was going through their wedding photos with my mom. I noticed a pic with all her bridesmaids and a few guests standing around the cake holding ribbons, preparing to pull the charms from them. I knew this was an old tradition but didn't realize my mom had done it. I would want to do this as well. What are your thoughts? Would it be neat to continue what my mom did or is this tradition old fashioned? Also where could I find these wedding charms?

    Here is an informative link. I wanted to have it at DD wedding but since 90% of the guests were from up North I didn't mention it to DD, nor did I want to spend the whole reception explaining it to guest.
    Good luck and I love the idea and it is still done.

    I plan on doing this too! Etsy has some cake charms that are very cute! Or you can go to an antique/gift shop type place and choose your own charms

    You can order them online. Just google it. My best friend had her cake pulls custom made to match the jewelry she had made for us. Having the charm on a pearl bracelet was an excellent idea and something that I'll be able to wear in the future.

    Royal Standard has tons! We (my mom and I) have thrown three bridesmaids luncheons recently, and ordered a charm cake for each one since the girls didn't want to do it at the wedding. You can order them online and just have the bakery bake them into the cake.

    I  would also recommend the Royal Standard. I feel like they have the best selection around. I also have been to a lot of weddings where they used cake pulls so I don't think it is old fashioned or anything.
