This vintage kewpie topper might only be suitable for a "Ravages of Time" theme.

I may never sleep again.

There is something not right about children open-mouth kissing.

"Don't worry, dear. It's just a flesh wound. No one will even be looking at your face..."

Wedding planning can be super tiring - but maybe the droopy eyes on this topper are a little too droopy?

The eyes!

No more terrifying children, please.

I get that he's a sailor - but should the bride be tangled in a fishing net?

Themed cake toppers are all well and good, but if you go with a hunting theme, try pointing the rifle at the deer - and not your bride's head.

Weddings trends come and go with the times, and today, vintage themes & items are all the rage, as young couples eschew the extravagant trappings of old for simpler ceremonies (if you don't believe us, head on over to Pinterest).

A vintage cake topper, however, is maybe not the way to go. Proceed with caution.
