I can back out of this wedding party can't I?

I'm trying to channel my inner 'its an invitation not a summons'.

I've been invited to a wedding party about an hour away. Since accepting I've found out that almost all my colleagues are invited to the ceremony and hen. Now I know I'm a spare part would it be terribly rude of me to decline after all? I don't want to drive to join a bunch of pissed people for a couple of hours the drive back again. It would give us a whole weekend to get away somewhere as DH doesn't have much annual leave.

To preempt any 'you obviously don't like them very much' comments, I'm a bit surprised at being the bottom of the pile but I thought we got on quite well.

Oh, just pull out now! Don't give this a second thought. 'So sorry, something's come up and I can't make it'. The end. Send a card, no money.

Yes just send message saying you now won't be able to attend. Don't give it another moment's thought

Oh god no i wouldn’t go either on this basis

Politely decline - so sorry colleague but turns out we have a big family event that weekend / partner has booked a surprise weekend away

Honestly if she doesn’t care enough to invite you to the hen or day do then I don’t see why she’d care that you won’t be attending the night do.
