Newlywed couple sends $240 bill to guests who did not show up for their wedding.


Marriage is not for the weak of heart. There may be a substantial charge from the event. This couple seemed determined to pursue the subject of absenteeism.

The folks who RSVP’d yes but did not show up for their wedding infuriated the wedded couple.

Taking no chances, the couple sent a $240 bill to everyone who had turned in the wrong RSVP for the event.

The invoice was released on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wedding reception invoice before lol,” the user thweddat wrote in response to a picture of the bill.

The couple came forward, despite the suspicions of some that the invoice was fake. From Chicago, Doug Simmons and Dedra McGee delivered an invoice.

When the couple discussed what had happened with the media, the groom said he would have felt “some kind of way” if guests had not shown up after confirming their attendance.

The bill was originally shared by Doug on Facebook. “This invoice is being sent to you because you confirmed seat(s) at the wedding reception during the Final Headcount,” the pair wrote in the invoice’s notes section. It continues, explaining, “This sum is what you owe us for paying for your seat(s) in advance because you did not call or give us prior notice that you would not be in attendance. PayPal or Zelle can be used for payment. Please get in touch with us and let us know which payment option is most convenient for you.I’m grateful.

Then, a lot of people started to disagree over whether this was a reasonable request.

“I wish I had considered it.” Of the people that sent in RSVPs for our wedding, one-third did not arrive. One customer stated, “Even though it cost much less than $120 a plate, we paid for a LOT of food that went to waste.” “You are so dear to us that we invited you to our wedding,” said someone else who disapproved of their choice. But since you didn’t let us show you in person, we are going to break up that relationship for $240. However, you’ll receive an invitation to our baby shower eventually, so please bring a present or a collection of faces.

How easy it would be to just mail the invoice back, wondered one Twitter user.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an invoice for a wedding reception.

Things had gotten “a little petty,” the groom said, but he clarified, saying, “I am not some trifling person who is going to bill somebody.”

Simmons is a Chicago-based small business owner. He wanted it to be known that the things that mattered were not material wealth but rather the disdain he and his spouse had for those who promised to attend their wedding but did not. They had put a lot of effort into saving money for their large-guest wedding.

“They repeatedly responded “Yes” when we asked four times, ‘Are you available to come, can you make it?,’” he explained. He expressed his annoyance, saying, “This was a destination wedding—we had to pay in advance for Jamaica.”


But after doing a final count, they found that not all of the people who had indicated they would be there had actually shown up. He gave the following explanation of how it occurred: “No one texted or told me, ‘Hey, we can’t make it.’” All I wanted for was that. I would understand if you told me you couldn’t make it, but to keep me in the dark and then allow me to cover the cost of you and your companions? “I took it personally.” Four people turned into eight people.

The two gave no indication of what they would do if they were not paid. But it seems like a lot of their relationships might be in jeopardy.
