Not only b/c we avoid the cake cutting fee, but b/c neither of us want to do the actual cake-cutting tradition. Plus, I found these incredible laser-cut wrappers to use...and my vendor LOVES them. Win, win!!! http://www.estiloweddings.com/CUPCAKE-WRAPPER---IVY-VINE-IVORY-/cart.php?m=product_detail&c=76&p=222 My fiancé and I are having a cupcake wedding as well.

I have had the cupcakes from Cupcake Station and definitely wasn't sold on the taste tho. If u do a taste test, take me with you...lol. Cupcake sounds good.

This is what we did for our wedding- it worked out great and was much less than a cake... and people were really excited about the cupcakes. We also had a small cake on top of our stand so that we could do the "cutting the cake" moment. I love cupcakes at weddings!

I was going to use them for my wedding but I thought their cupcakes were dry and not super tasty. But everyone has different tastes, so I recommend trying it first. I am still going with cupcakes but I am using a different vendor. Make sure you taste the cupcakes at Cupcake Station.

Many venues charge a fee for offering up cupcakes even though the cake isn't being cut. In August I planned a wedding and this was the case. The charge per cupcake was $1.50...for putting it on a plate. Unreal. Concerning the cake cutting fees, or lack thereof, you might want to check with your venue.
