How do I take back my RSVP? I don't want to go to a Dry wedding!

I sent in my RSVP like a week before it was due, But I just found out its going be a freaking dry wedding!!! Not only that but there's going be 1.5 hours between the ceremony and reception that I thought was going be cocktail hour. I already bought a gift so I'll send that, but how do I decline?...

I already bought a gift so I'll send that, but how do I decline? email, call or text? The wedding is this Saturday should I just suck it up and go? I'm sure she gave the venue a final head count and paid for everyone's dinner.

She's a friend but not a super close friend.

    Went to my friends wedding and it was dry. They had champagne for the toast and then nothing. It was basically over at 8:45pm. The reception started at 6:45.

    I think you should go just because its your friend, but the gap thing between the ceremony and reception is what would piss me off the most. You can always leave right after you eat. We plan on doing all of our pictures before the ceremony so that we have no gaps! I can't stand waiting.

    Don't go if you're only going there for the free booze. Rude.

    Weddings do end sooner when there is no alcohol...but seriously, to not go, because you can't drink there??? WHAT???? This isn't a "dry" after party...its a celebration of love, the joining of 2 souls.... no disrespect intended, because to each her own... but I'd be devastated if someone refused to go because I can't afford to provide them with alcohol...

    @Monique may I suggest you go find a dictionary, and look up the definition of bullying?
