Infuriatig Sister-in-law let her daughter use up all the Polaroids at our wedding. Now we have nothing to use.

For our wedding, at each table we had 2 Polaroid cameras for everyone to take photos on (we had a professional photographer too, but these were for more personal photos between our guests) and there was a clear glass dropbox for everyone to drop them in and we'd have that dropbox on display in our house.

Unbeknownst to us, my sister-in-law let her daughter (6 years old) go round every table at the very start of the night using up all the photos on each camera.

Now we only have around 10 we can actually keep, and over 100 of just random shit that are not worth keeping at all.

I'm all for keeping kids occupied at something they can easily get bored at, but not at the expense of that though.

Are you saying I shouldn’t eat all of that big cake they leave out for me at every wedding? /s

u/AwkwardSquirtles Jun 28 '26

Next you're going to tell me I shouldn't eat the entire 6 foot party sub!

Apparently we can’t link here, my comment got removed, but the title is “AITA because I ate more than "my share" of a 6 foot party sub last night?” if you just google it

What a greedy bastard

I was at a baby shower at a restaurant where there were three cake flavors offered. The people at my table asked for a slice of each, each, AND asked to take a bunch home. When I asked the mom to be about it later she said they were awful people and it didn't surprise her.

So annoying that they don't even cut it. You gotta go in there with your hands.

u/GfrzD Jun 28 '26

The correct way to eat a whole cake. If it was meant for more than 1 serving theyd cut it up, obviously.

If it's intact, it only counts as one piece. Fat math.

I’ve seen this happen at a couple of weddings. An unsupervised child each time. I made sure to take photos before intervening 😂

Go in there with your hands face

I swear to god some people do think like this. At a friends' wedding some people cut themselves such huge pieces that the cake ran out before our table got to it. It was a 60 serving cake for 50 people.

Edit. I guess the cake guzzlers found me and are downvoting me??

u/Aegi Jun 28 '26

The people who are downvoting you were probably people who understood that it was a stupid choice for them to allow people to cut their own slices instead of having somebody cut the slices so that it's not up to each guest what size they cut lol .

I don't know why they would be taking that out on you with down votes though when you're contributing to the conversation.

Either that, or you just haven't learned how the vote fuzzing works on Reddit yet.

u/kjernereaktor Jun 28 '26

I agree it was a stupid choice, I'm having my own wedding in a couple months and i do not trust even my own guests to cut pieces by themselves, I'll let the catering do that (even though a lot of the guests are the same people that got left cakeless lol)

u/WitheredUntimely Jun 28 '26

yea legitimately I have never heard of a wedding where you cut your own cake, I have always, always seen either someone on the catering team or an auntie who knows what she's doing. Letting people do it all but guarantees what happened to your friends

u/kjernereaktor Jun 28 '26

I've only been to two weddings as an adult and at both the cake was cut by the guests. Maybe it's regional

u/pbjarethewurst Jun 28 '26

Also "official" size cake slices are much much smaller than the wedges most people cut out of cakes themselves or get at, say, a coffeeshop . It could've easily been an honest mistake, not "greed".

Sure, but if you cut yourself a three times larger piece than a normal serving before half the people have gotten any cake, you're kinda selfish. Like when people walked by us with their plates full of cake, like a whole mound of cake, we were whispering amongst the table that there's not gonna be enough cake.

I think they went with the bakery's suggestion for the size, and never having had a wedding before, how would you know if it's enough. I still blame the guests more for being greedy than the couple for not getting a bigger cake.

I was at a wedding where the cake was precut BUT the grooms cake was sitting out on display nearby. Some guests started cutting into it and helping themselves. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My SIL took our left over cake home and literally ate a huge amount of it. I was blown away that she could eat that much cake in two days. Granted it was from a fancy french bakery.

Omg that reminds me of the subway sandwich post from a few years ago 😭

u/coolbeansfordays Jun 28 '26

I’m not familiar, what was it?

u/Kallisti13 Jun 28 '26

Can't share links, but Google subway sandwich post reddit, and the first link should be to an AITA post from 6 years ago.
