Tacky or nah??? Bride & Groom Bill No-Show Wedding Guests A Minnesota couple is making national headlines after they sent bills to confirmed guests who skipped out on their big day. One of the no-shows recently outed the couple after she says she received an $80 bill for missing their reception dinner of herb crusted Walleye. Kare11 reports: It was a couple weeks ago, Jessica Baker was getting ready to go to a wedding with her husband when she got a call from her mom. “She called at the last minute and had something come up and said I can’t make it,” said Baker. Her mom was supposed to watch their kids. And since the invitation said no children, that meant no wedding. But then this week, she received a bill for the dinner they were supposed to have enjoyed. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” she said with a smile. “It listed, we would have had two herb crusted walleye and there was also a service and tax charge.” The total came to $75.90. “This cost reflects the amount paid by the bride and groom for meals that were RSVP’d for, reimbursement and explanation for no show, card, call or text would be appreciated,” the note read. She has no plans on paying it, but she did wonder what else she could have done. “This is kind of the wild story,” said Sarah Baumann Rogers. She’s the editor of Minnesota Bride magazine and has some experience on wedding etiquette. “Under no circumstances should you choose to follow up after the fact…kind of questioning why they couldn’t attend or much less sending a bill,” she said. “General rule is prepare for about 10 percent of overage or underage when you’re planning a big event like that and catering companies are well aware of this,” she said Hmmm, what do YOU think??? Is it fair or foul for newlyweds to bill no-show guests??? Wouldn’t this ruin some friendships??? Christianbed.com/Wiki Commons
