Ok, so obviously I am a newbie to the wedding side.
I was curious how you display your groom's cakes on the table with the wedding cake. Do you display it on a stand or just on the board? I just want to make sure I do it properly for the first time!
Thank you in advance!

It would depend on the cake design. It would be fine to put the cake (on a board) directly on the table. You can also raise it above the table, provided there is room.
You just don't wan't to overshadow the brides cake. It should be the main attraction.
Welcome to CC!
All of the weddings that I have been to have the groom's cake on a separate table. It's for the reason JoAnnB said-not to overshadow the wedding cake! Usually it's a much smaller table with simple decoration.
But you can put it on a simple stand or just on the board.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for the welcome and for the help. The cake will be a double layer 9x13 with the lattice type pattern all over and pearls at the intersection. Then there will be a line of roses and buds across the longest part of the cake in a line and down either side (it makes sense when I picture it I SWEAR!!! 
).
I haven't found a stand for a rectangular cake yet, I posted another thread about that, so we may just be using the cake board anyway!
Any other suggestions are welcomed too!
Thanks again!
The cake sounds pretty! It sounds like you are talking about a quilted pattern with the pearls at the intersections.
But here is the question that popped in my head-this is for a groom's cake? Usually a groom's cake reflects the groom's hobbies, occupation, interests or it's chocolate, sometimes with chocolate dipped strawberries. That way it's different from the wedding cake too! My thinking is that if it looks similar to a girly/wedding cake and it's displayed with the wedding cake that people will assume it's just part of the wedding cake and not something special for the groom. Unless the groom is a girl too (did one of those weddings this summer!)
Hi!
I made a grooms cake for my new BIL in November and I put it on the same table as my SIL's bridal cake. The table was big so it fit well. It should be in my photos, 4 tier white cake with two tier chocolate with deer topper. I just decorated the table seperately for each cake. The bride's cake had staggered glass candle holders with the cake server in front and the groom's cake had enamelware camping cups and lantern for candle holders and the antler handled knife we got him for a gift in front. I wanted the theme to carry to the decorations. Then the red rose petals all over the table tied everything together. The presentation was wonderful! It really went well together. I just had both cakes on silver cake drums but the fact that the bridal cake was four tiers helped so that it was the main focus.
HTH,

Thanks for all the help everyone!
I know the cake sounds weird for a groom's cake, but the groom, my BIL doesn't really care and won't have much say in the wedding, he's a dufus, so my soon to be SIL told me what she decided to do on it. I tried to tell her the same thing, but couldn't convince her. Oh well, it gives me time to practice my flowers and a really nice cake!
Thanks again for all of the help! There are some really good ideas!
