Jessica Baker of Minnesota was meant to attend a wedding recently, but was forced to change her plans after her babysitter cancelled at the last minute.
This week, she received a bill of $75.90 (€68) for the dinner she and her husband should have enjoyed at the reception, including a service charge.

The invoice included a note from the couple:
Speaking to KARE11 News, Baker said she has no plans on paying the $75.90, but wondered what she could have done to make up for missing the wedding.
The invoice has been going viral on Facebook, with people recommending that Baker pay them back “in Monopoly money” or make a donation to a charity in their name.

Sarah Baumann Rogers, the editor of a local bridal magazine, told KARE11 that on no account should a couple send a bill after a guest pulls out of a wedding.
What do you think? Is it acceptable to bill wedding guests who fail to show up?
