A woman says she is considering charging people who don't turn up to her wedding £85 as people are dropping out as the big day approaches. The bride-to-be took to the 'Am I Being Unreasonable' forum on Mumsnet to say tat with six days to go before her wedding a number of people have suddenly dropped out.
In the post, the woman explained: "We didn't want two tier guests so everyone is invited to the whole day and evening. Invited a year a go and invites sent out six months ago."
The woman said she is now considering sending invoiced for the damages caused to the happy couple through cancelling, reports The Mirror. She said: "I feel like sending them an invoice. You don't drop out 6 days before the whole thing happens."
She added: "Everytime someone says they aren't coming it costs us £85 plus the evening buffet cost per person."
Many people were quick to show their support but erred on the side of caution in sending them an invoice - even though the bride has already paid for goods and services the guests will no longer need.
One wrote: "Depends on the reason really, but sometimes these things aren’t avoidable. Ultimately it isn’t their problem that you’ve picked a certain cost, but if they don’t have a good reason it is really crap of them."
Another wondered if anybody else could come in their place and said: "So frustrating when people drop out. have they given valid reasons though? However, by costing you, do you mean you've already paid so it's basically a wasted bit of money, which you could have saved on? you're not getting charged this in addition to what you've paid already? Can you invite anyone else in their place?"
