Wessing guests billed for missed meal? When a couple who had sent in the RSVP to a wedding had skip the celebration due to unforeseen circumstances, they had no idea they would receive a bill in the mail from the bride and groom, according to USA Today.
When Jessica Baker's mother had to cancel at the last minute from babysitting duties, Jessica and her husband had no one else to fill in, so they had to cancel their plans to attend a wedding. The wedding invitation was explicit in the "no children" policy, so they were stuck.
But the Minnesota woman had no clue to the she would be charged for the missed meals.
"The invoice arrived in the mail yesterday," Baker said, according to The Washington Post. "My first reaction was just, 'You've got to be kidding me. You've got to be kidding me.'"
"It listed, we would have had two herb crusted walleye and then there was also a service and tax charge," Baker said, according to Time.
"And then, when I read it, the whole thing, I just kind of laughed and had to call up my husband and go, 'Uh, our friends sent us this bill for not making it to their wedding.' And we kind of had a good laugh about it."
The bill was to cover the pairs missed meals and the service and tax, according to the statement received.
"This cost reflects the amount paid by bride and groom for meals that were RSVPed for, reimbursement and explanation for no show, card, call or text would be appreciated," Baker said the invoice read.
Baker does not plan to pay the bill.
