Newlyweds create $240 bill for no-show guests at their destination wedding.
Since it was a destination wedding, the couple had to pay for each guest 30 days in advance, so they had already forked over the cash for those eight meals. While they could manage the loss financially, the couple was peeved that their guests didn't give them a heads up.
"We were all on WhatsApp and neither one of us got a text or call from any of them letting us know they wouldn’t be able to make it. When we got home from Jamaica, there was still no call or text," Simmons said. At that point, the groom channeled his creative side and whipped up a fake invoice that"charged" the no-show guests for the meals they didn't consume.The words"No Call, No Show Guest" are featured prominently on the $240 invoice that includes the following note:"This invoice is being sent to you because you confirmed seat at the wedding reception during the Final Headcount. The amount above is the cost of your individual seats.
The groom whipped up a fake invoice that "charged" the no-show guests for the meals they didn't consume and posted the image on social media.Plenty of social media users have shared the invoice on their own pages, including Twitter user @Phil_Lewis_, who told TMRW that he thinks it sparked a good conversation about wedding etiquette.
"I understand that weddings are expensive, but I wouldn’t RSVP to something without knowing for sure I could come. If it was an emergency, then I would expect my friends to know that I simply couldn’t come," he told us.
