Jessica Baker and her husband had planned to attend a relative’s wedding when their babysitter cancelled. The invitation specifically said “no kids.” So, they didn’t attend. Baker said that she didn’t want to call or text the bride or groom on their wedding day because she figured that they had too much going on that day.

This week, she received an invoice from the bride for the dinner she and her husband didn’t eat since they didn’t attend. The amount due was $75.90.

Baker posted the invoice online and it promptly went viral. A note with the invoice read: “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.”
