Music and Dancing

• During the cake cutting, play some bright, cheerful and fun music. Music and dancing are a part of the reception and the bride and groom can use music as a way to signal the guests about the cake cutting and make the cake cutting interesting. The bride and groom can dance their way to the table to the tunes of "I Got You Babe," "Love and Marriage," or "Chapel of Love."
  
  

Charm Game

• Wedding cakes can have charms added to them as a special prize and favor. The charms are added in the pieces of cake given to guests, placed at random and located under the piece of cake. Tell the guests that some pieces of cake have a charm in them and if they find a charm, they not only get to keep the charm, but also get another prize. The prize can vary such as certain prizes for different charms or it can be the same, like a gift certificate.
  
  

Cupcake Activity

• A bride and groom can opt to have cupcakes instead of having the caters cut the full cake, letting only a small cake act as the actual wedding cake for cutting by the bride and groom. This not only saves money, but it allows for games. Put charms in the cake which can turn into jewelry pieces or put little instruction papers in the cupcake paper. The guests who find the charms can put them on the bride or groom while those who find an activity paper can make the bride or groom perform the activity. For example, someone might get a paper saying "chicken dance" and then they can designate the bride, groom or even another guest to perform the dance.
  
  

Trivia Game

• During the cake cutting and eating of cake or cupcakes, the guests can play a trivia game with the bride and groom. The guests might have trivia questions in papers under the cake or to the side of each piece of cake. The questions should have answers as well. The guests ask the questions and the bride or groom must answer. If the answer is wrong, the bride or groom must perform some action dictated by the guest.
