    Absolutely not. I am not paying 100’s on hair and makeup to have it ruined and I just think it’s tacky too. Not for us

    No. My makeup better not get messed up nor his clear skin. We will be okay

    That’s a big nay! We are paying good money for makeup and photography- there’s no way I’m ruining either with a a cake smash! Plus, we are hitting Bourbon Street after the reception with everyone who is not done partying yet. And actually, we may be forfeiting having a wedding cake in lieu of local desserts.

    Nope! I will be paying for my hair, possibly makeup, my dress and the actual cake that would be smashed.. not worth it to me. Too much money wasted and the last thing I want to be is sticky on my wedding

    NO.

    Spent far too much time and money on my makeup... plus it's kind of mean.

    We DID put little dots of frosting on each other, and kissed it off. That's cute.

    Nay. FH and I agree that we don't want to get our wedding clothes covered in frosting. We will feed each other a small piece nicely.

    I've already told him, if he smashes cake in my face I'm ripping up the marriage license (not really, but still). We shall see if he does it.

    Nay! I'm currently looking for a makeup artist and with the prices I'm seeing, I do not want cake all over my face!

    No thank you. I really hope FH does not do this. I think it is messy and unnecessary.

    No for me. I don’t want to be sticky and it’s a waste of perfectly good cake. But if both people agree to it, they should smash away.

    Nay! No cake smashing. I don't want my makeup to be ruined or having to run to get cleaned up.

    We are not discussing it on purpose. I want whatever to happen to happen organically Smiley smile
