"Who gets cake in their face?" Bet

SoonToBeVeeRoach, on May 26, 2017 at 9:13 PM Posted in Community Conversations 1 21

I went to a wedding last month and by the cake table they had a "who gets cake in the face?" Bet. Essentially the wedding guests put money in a jar labeled "bride" or a jar labeled "groomed" and whoever got cake in their face during the cutting lost the bet. But I didn't understand the point because with a normal bet, you either make or lose the money that you bet but in this case the couple just kept the money in both jars. Has anyone done this or been to a wedding with it? Is it basically just to fund their honeymoon or pay for wedding expenses? If so, that seems pretty tacky to me.

    The ones I've seen, cake in the face went to the person with the most money in their jar.

    Regardless, the point is to get money from guests.

    Which, we all know is a no-no.

    Exactly, that's what I thought too. It's just as bad as just out right walking up to guests to ask for money. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this was not okay

    This is ridiculous.

    FH has been warned that if he shoves cake in my face he will be miserable for a while afterwards. We are not doing cake shoving. I certainly would not ask my guests to bring out money during my wedding. If they tip the bartenders, cool, I will be doing so after also if they dont.

    No dollar dance, no jars for money, no honeyfund. My grandmother would be rolling over in her grave if I was asking for money. So tacky.

    I hate this for numerous reasons.

    1. They are fundraising at their wedding. You don't ask your guest for money!

    2. I wouldn't want to start my marriage off by him humiliating me in front of family. I understand the bride & groom may have agreed to this in advance but often time it gets out of hand and someone gets pisses.

    3. You get your hair and makeup done for the wedding. Then cut the cake and someone smears frosting all in your face. Chances are it'll get in your hair too. So all that money you paid is a waste!

    Up there with honeyfund for me. Money grabs are not classy.

    My FH is well aware his life may be on the line if cake goes in my face!!! I will never understand the point of the cake to face thing.

    I have seen people post about it in some Facebook groups; to me it is like a money dance. I also find putting cake in someone's face disrespectful.
