A few weeks ago I got a ‘save the date’ for a friend’s wedding. It was along the lines of ‘we’re getting married and you are invited’.
All fine, I accepted.
Then the invitation and schedule is sent and I’m not invited to the ceremony, just the party afterwards.
No great problem, but attending involves a 3 hour drive each way, night in a hotel and a cab to and from the venue.
The happy couple have asked for cash wedding presents that I do plan to give them but I think it seems a lot to ask guests just for the evening party.
We are friends but not close friends and they are planning dinner at the party.
AIBU to not attend?
