Charging people who don;t show up to your wedding

I've even heard of parents sending a bill for their kids bday parties smh people are crazy

I heard about this on the news too. The wedded couple were billing people that said they were coming, but didn't show and didn't communicate why they weren't showing. Anyone that didn't show that said they were going to, but communicated WHY they couldn't attend did not get billed.

I would never do this, but part of me was thinking..go for it. As has been already started, it's extremely rude to accept the invitation and then don't communicate a change in plans.

One of my classmate did not show up to my friend's wedding he RSVP to. My friend was so pissed. He never offered an explanation before or after. Another mutual friend of ours didn't invite him to her wedding because she just didn't want to take a chance that he would RSVP and then not show. He wondered why he wasn't invited to her wedding.

As someone who had over 30 no shows we still never considered sending our invited guests a bill. We just looked at it as a lesson on who actually cares and who is an asscravat. Plus we had a great time, amazing food and an open bar without them. So who really lost out there, because I don't feel like we did.

Celia speaks the truth.

I wish a MF would....

Sorry, that was the first thing that came to mind lol

@Soon2BeMrsC.....I just spit my water out lmfao

I can't stand people who RSVP'd and don't show up.... PP said she had 30 no show, I would seriously cry that money could have paid 3 months rent for me.

Kelsey, a 4th of july party is not a wedding. Unless you're having it at the Waldorf Astoria.

Asscravat. I'm dying.

Nervous about this- wouldn't send a bill but definitely would be pissed off and probably passive aggressively let them know because I'm a bitch like that and our plates are 150 each

Luckily for us we had a great price per person. If I lived somewhere that was costing us $100-$200 per person I'd have cried.

This reminds me of my cousins wedding invitation I just received in the mail, it says if you don't RSVP then they won't have food for you

@Shelly, interesting idea...I've seen where on the table where the name cards are there were cards that read " there's no seat for you because you didn't RSVP" not sure if that was a joke or real

I'm kinda planning for a few to not show, but I think 99% of our people will...but our plates are cheap less than $80/pp..

Yikes, no go...

If this ever became a thing I'd start billing my friends for 'wasting my time' in general. When you are trying to leave a party or get off the phone and they say. "Wait, one more thing!", and that thing is absolutely boring and pointless. Yep, I'm gonna start billing. In 15 minute increments.

I can see why everyone would love to get the money back for the empty chair but like everyone said its just rude. I think after you send a bill your kind of pushing people away. I probably would associate with someone if they sent me a bill. Its like if someone didn't bring a gift and you send them a letter asking them for a gift. You just don't. People better show up to my wedding if they RSVP yes. Life happens though so I'd hope it would be a good reason. Celia is hilarious as always.

Celia is right. When people are determined to invite every casual acquaintance since 7th grade band camp, you're bound to get casual RSVPs who just aren't going to treat your wedding as a priority. As rude as it is to RSVP if you're not committed to attending, I find it even more reprehensible to send someone a bill. If this is the way you behave, maybe they just didn't want to deal with you.

Lol to the other billing comments! I'm an attorney and bill in 1/10th of an hour (or 6 minute) increments. Y'all don't even know the times outside of work where I've wished I could bill someone for wasting my time.
