Non Tacky Cake Smash Outfit

34 replies

MargotsMummy · 31/10/2018 22:38

I have booked a cake smash for my DD's 1st birthday but am really struggling to find a nice outfit for her. Can anyone suggest where to look online?

I'm in two minds about what to dress her in. There is part of me that really wants to just go for it and put her in an adorable tutu. The problem is DH is really opposed to making her look too girly and pink, plus all the tutu outfits I've been able to find online are just a bit cheap and tacky looking.

The other part of me wants to put her in something different but I'm not sure what. She only has short hair so I do want her to look a bit feminine.

Colour wise I was thinking either pink turquoise or pastel colors. But nothing too busy because I want to make the most of the cake mess.

Any suggestions?

There is no outfit too tacky for something so tacky as a cake smash.

You could dress your child as normal, then donate the cake to a food bank instead of wasting it on something incredibly tacky?

Haha Moo she’s now fast asleep and dreaming as her back leg keeps jogging. I did retrieve my phone though; she didn’t even stir.

AngelasMerkin · 31/10/2018 23:17

Also OP just properly read your post and I conclude that either this is a wind-up or that...actually there’s no other option. You are attention-seeking, no?

fastfooder · 31/10/2018 23:18

Just a vest... naked with a pair of nappy pants... anything else with just get ruined anyway.

FekkoThePenguin · 31/10/2018 23:19

*Other opinions are available.

MissesBloom · 31/10/2018 23:21

Agree, for me it's up there with 'gender reveal parties' Hmm I mean.....why??

Surely the outfit is pointless as i'm assuming baby will be covered in cake anyway?
