So this is sort of in the same category, but another friend of my husband's is getting married this summer, and their invitation had instructions to RSVP at a website. My husband went to that website and it was down or something was not working and he couldn't RSVP. So last night, he sent his friend a message saying "I can't get your website to work but just wanted to let you know we won't be able to make it to the wedding" (It's on the coast - about a 12 hour drive one-way or a very expensive flight, and we had to pick family weddings first). His friend replied "Scott, over 150 people have RSVP'd through the website. My 98 year old grandmother could do it. I have faith in you." and then 15 minutes later, before my husband even received the first message, he wrote another saying "Just a fair warning, I am really pissed off with all of this wedding stuff and if you are going to ask stupid questions, you will be treated accordingly"
My husband wrote back "Sorry, we will not be able to make it to the wedding." but he was fuming. That was pretty rude of his friend! We were planning to send a card and a gift with some other friends who are attending, but I really do not want to send a gift after being treated like that. Should I just let it go and spend the money, or just simply send a card with our congratulations?
Weddings just make everyone crazy I guess
