You work in Philadelphia...
That guy with the food truck that smokes up 20th street...his falafel isn't that great. Naf Naf is wonderful, on the other hand.

It's clear you made up your mind some time ago, so I'm not quite sure why you bothered asking the question.
Its clear you feel very strongly, which suggests you got F**ked but a good friend, judging by you not talking to people for skipping your wedding. I asked the question knowing its not the best look to not go, and to ask about the kind of gift I should still send. I don't think it creates some socially unacceptable inferno where I'm going to lose friends and/or acquaintances.

I get falafel from the $3 truck at the corner of 20th & Market (not Falafel Nazi) or from Mama's...

Naf Naf (which I mistakenly call Riff Raff, as I can never recall the name) has been enjoyable on occasion...the hummus bowls are quite good...

Tif is 1000% right. If you care about your friendship at all.. it's at least 30 per plate. Plus your gift of say 50. Which should now be 75 or so because you feel bad and are making it up to him. Idk, crappy thing to do to be honest

Yep. Could tell you the name of every person who didn't show at my wedding and it really rubbed me the wrong way.

Go, or send gift plus $50.

We invited 315, got like 200 RSVPs and something like 10 no shows.

Wish someone had the sense to throw out the unclaimed table tents, made it pretty easy to enumerate who had better **** to do and doesn't own a **** phone.

Best part about ours, we had a no show who also added an additional +1 (the original 2 showed but they added their 19yo daughter who was not named on the invite to the RSVP)

Another buddy was a no show and did apologize as well as give a monetary gift that covered his plate.

Going back to the wedding discussion...yeah dude, suck it up and go. There were also several no-shows at our wedding that texted me the morning off, one saying that "her grandmother came into town" or something. She posted a photo of her and her friends in Sea Isle that weekend :face: Haven't really talked to her since.

We had someone do a similar thing. Texted the morning of saying they were really sick. Posting later pictures of them shopping with friends and some stupid quote about retail therapy. Haven't spoken since.

I'm also on the sack up and go to the wedding team. You seemingly decided a while ago that you weren't planning on going. Should have given them a week or two notice so that they could cancel your meal and readjust seating if need be. Very rude at this point to not go.

Source of the post We invited 315
I don't even know 315 people. We did the opposite and eloped far away from family, and it was awesome.

This video is something. A woman jumped on the hood of her car to stop if from being stolen.

The only person who came to her aid was an older man who couldn't move too quickly. LOL And he just kind of was like "WTF"? when he got there.

We had a few no shows at our wedding. I only remember one of them, it was a dick move to no-show without any call/text but he got a ton of crap from all of our other friends for it. We still talk to this day though, no point in holding a grudge, imo.

We had one no show at our wedding. I talked to this person the day before and they said they were excited to be there. Then didn't show up the next day, has never provided a reason, or an apology, and has tried to remain friendly.

Our relationship was and hasn't been the same since that day.

I don't believe we had any no-shows. I had a few friends that didn't bother to even acknowledge it, but that's why I used 'had'.

My grandmother was sick the day of and couldn't make it and my uncle's girlfriend was in the hospital with her son (who then died a week or so later)... Essentially, what I'm saying NP is that's the bar for missing a wedding that you RSVP'd yes to and it's the day before.

Idk work acquaintance or something like that is 50ish. I'd never do less than 50. I'm single, I would think couples are expected to give more. Friends get over 100 - good friends get somewhat of a thoughtful actual gift
I've do 50.00 when single, an actual gift from the registry +(maybe) cash as a couple, something more personal if in the wedding with no exception to price.
