    Keep! I feel it’s a cute tradition. I won’t be doing it but I enjoy watching if they will be nice and clean it smash it in each other faces!

    Never liked the idea of getting smacked in the face with a cake I spent a lot of money on (not to mention my makeup lol) but if we can agree not to totally be harsh with it I may be ok doing it. I think feeding one another a bite is acceptable but not being hit in the face with cake LOL

    Keep! We even have a sign and jars for people to "place bets" and whoever has the most money in their jar gets the cake smashed in their face. I'm banking on the fact that my FH's friends will want him to get the cake so they'll fill his up more. Hehe 😁

    Cancel. It’s disrespectful to that beautiful cake, not to mention our clothes. I’m a fan of just lovingly feeding each other.

    Cancel. Never on a regular day would my FH smash food in my face, so why is it considered acceptable for it to happen at our wedding 🙄

    I'm going to say cancel but my FH might surprise me. As long as it's not a whole handful, he'll survive lol

    Cancel . . .never was a fan of this tradition

    I could handle a little frosting on the nose, but definitely not smashed all over your face. . .

    It could ruin your dress, hair and makeup. . .not worth chancing that.

    Cancel! I spent too much money and time on my makeup, hair, and dress for it to be ruined with cake!

    Cancel! I’ve told my fiancé several times that there will absolutely be no cake smashed on my face and he better watch his back if he tries to do it! It ruins your makeup that you paid good money to have done or spent a long time doing! Haha

    We will see what happens, we both agree no getting out of control though.
