is it bad luck to have a day of the dead topper on a wedding cake?
is incorporating something from day of the dead, bad luck?

if you click on the link, it shows what it would look like, my fiance likes day of the dead
actually, my stepfather is mexican and he was the one that told me it was bad luck but i don't see why it would be as it is such an important celebration.
I have a friend that is Mexican and she's having her aunt who still lives in Mexico send me a bride & groom day of the dead figure for a gift for my wedding. She said in her culture it is good luck and a custom to give one to newlyweds. It's supposed to be wishing them that their love is eternal and will last beyond death.
So I don't think it would be bad luck. But if your family members aren't familiar with the Day of the Dead and its meaning they'd probably think it was creepy and morbid.
I've seen some cute ones on ebay even some straight from Mexico. If he likes Day of the Dead maybe you could also use marigolds as flowers some where if they're in season at the time of your wedding, I don't anything about flowers and seasons. But yeah, they use those to decorate altars and things. Another way to incorporate it, if you wanted.
I don't think the cake topper would look bad. It's a way to include the groom in a way. I'm assuming of course your fiance is like mine and saying "Whatever you want, hun"

Hm, maybe it's a regional thing in Mexico then. Or for gifts only and not to decorate, I don't know. I'll ask my friend. But I don't think it would be bad luck. Luck is what you make it.
