As many of you know, cupcakes have recently become one of the most popular wedding trends. Some say they’re cheaper. Some say they’re cuter. Some say they’re more modern. I say it’s all about personal preference.

Many times, cupcakes aren’t the cheaper way to go. Most run anywhere between $2 and $6 at bakeries and even more if you want different flavors, icing options and/or customized baby cakes in an order. Of course if you have someone in your family/bridal party/etc. willing and able to make these little guys for you, by all means take advantage of the option and generosity. It will most definitely save you some dinero.

Another way to do cupcakes is a DIY cupcake bar where guests pick between two to three cupcake flavors, frostings and toppings and design their own masterpiece. This option brings some creativity and fun into dessert… and the options for designing the DIY area are endlessly adorable.

The last option I’ll share is the mini cupcake route. These are often cheaper and in my opinion, much easier to eat than regular-sized cupcakes. People don’t feel like they’re stuffing their faces. The only drawback is many bakeries don’t offer minis in bulk. But if you find one that does, I guarantee guests will love them (the minis and the bakery).
