Toasting Flutes/Cake Cutting Set

[Aruba Bride]

I searched for a thread on this but wasn't able to find one. I was just wondering how many of ya'll were bringing your own toasting flutes and cake cutting set or if anyone was just going to use what the resort has?

 

I was hesitent on buying toasting flutes because I figured they wouldn't make the flight down but I found some that were too cute not to buy so I am just going to have my FI carry them on as his smaller personal item.

I have beautiful flutes that my FMIL gave us when we got engaged but I am not bringing them down I plan on just using whatever the resort has. I will have so much other stuff to bring and am afraid they would break. Just one less thing to worry about!

I purchased mine from Things Remembered and I am bringing them down there with us and using them again for the home reception.

What are your plans to get it there & back safely?

Actually it comes in a very sturdy case that contains all the items so I am not worried about it much.  I will have to put it in the checked luggage since there are technically two knives in it but I am really not worried.  I'll pad it with bubble wrap and clothes...and pray.

I actually got them at Maya Couture, which is the place I bought my dress from, but I found them online at David's Bridal also

I didn't bring flutes or cake cutters to my destination for the same reason. As it was we filled 1 1/2 suitcases with wedding supplies, and I tried very hard to bring as little as possible.

 

However I have read posts from lots of brides who did bring their own. I guess it depends on who offers their suitcase space, shipping costs to your destination, number of guests, personal preference, etc. I flew down 2 ring bearer pillows with shells on them. Because of the shells, they had to be padded, which took up even more room than just the pillows themselves. They took up a lot of space and weren't an absolute necessity, but I wanted them!
