Hey Ladies,

My family is from Antigua and the FI is from downsouth. We are definately having the traditional black cake. At the reception we will bw having the soca, calypso and some reggae. We will include caribbean food during the cocktail hour. Because we are having a New Orleans themed wedding, it will be and explosion of cultures.

Good Luck planning Ladies!!!

FI and I are both Guyanese so we're definitely serving black cake. We are also having a Kwe Kwe (Queh Queh) the night before the wedding in lieu of a rehearsal dinner. It is an African pre wedding celebration that takes place the night before the wedding (drums & plenty wining involved) so it should be fun.

I'm Barbadian and FI is Nigerian. In addition to our regular buffet we're gonna do a Bajan station and a Naija station with some traditional food. I'll look into having some black cake as well since the wedding is close to Xmas!

Im Jamaican and my FI from St.Thomas VI. Of course the food will be mostly if not all Caribbean, black cake is a must. Music soca,reggae,roots, steel pan(at FI request). We are having our main wedding in Atlanta so the colors for the wedding will have that tropical feel. Purple and Orange . Looking forward to see everyones ideas come together.

I'm Jamaican and my fiance is Jewish. And he LOVES Jamaican food! We are going to do action stations at our reception and have one dedicated to Jamaican food and of course - we are having the black cake too and giving that as a favor! It's going to be great!

Hi I'm from The beautiful islands of The Bahamas so a Junkanoo Rush out (Junkanoo is reminiscent of New Orleans' Mardi Gras and Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, but it is distinctly Bahamian and exists nowhere else) will be the highlight of my wedding reception
