What are your views on having a wedding cake vs. Cupcakes?

My FH and I were debating about whether or not to get a traditional three tiered wedding cake vs having one tier for us to cut and having cupcakes for our guests, because I've heard the wedding cake usually gets wasted because there's a lot left over. Thoughts?

    We're doing cupcakes so we can have 3 different flavors. Our baker is making a topper for us to cut.

    I like cake- cupcakes seem too trendy whereas a traditional wedding cake is more timeless. Whatever you want though- it's your day! One question though, is why do you think you would have leftover cake but not leftover cupcakes??

    I definitely prefer cake, both as a decoration and for eating. But I'm not really anti-cupcake either.

    We are probably going to have one to two tiers for us and wedding party then cupcakes. I love the idea!

    I vote cake, to me it's more formal. Guests can still take home cakes slices too if they want just provide boxes if your venue doesn't.
