Can't afford to go your friend's wedding? Here's how to handle it.
Your friends may be hearing wedding bells, while you may be more worried about something else: sky high bills to attend.
Of those who declined to go, 30 percent said their relationship with the couple changed for the worse. Of the nine experts Bankrate consulted, seven said it is OK to decline an invitation if you cannot afford to go. "If you're having trouble dealing with all of these costs, instead of buying something off the registry, it's totally fine to give cash if you can," Smith said.
You can also safely give less and still stay within etiquette rules if you have spent money as part of the bridal party, incurred travel expenses to attend the event or given an engagement or shower gift.
