Is it normal about that couple sending bills to wedding guests that didn't come

A couple sent a bill to one of their friends for canceling to their wedding because the sitter canceled and the kid was not allowed to come.I wouldn't do it cuz stuff happens in life that you can't control.Been there done that. we had a really small wedding and had bbq' ed this and that so no calculate per plate stuff.What do you think?

    I've heard of some bitch billing parents of kids that didn't show up to her kids birthday party.

    You choose to have an expensive party, you wear the costs, I say.

    When my sister and I were little my folks always turned down invitations where kids weren't welcome. If I were a young parent I would most likely turn down that sort of invitation, but if I accepted, and was forced to cancel I certainly wouldn't remain friends with someone who sent me a bill like that much less pay it.

    The couple who sent the bill are assholes.

    When I go to a wedding I always give an envelope. If I RSVP, but a family situation came up and I couldn't make it, I would still send my envelope (especially if I know the couple paid for my plate). I think that is the right thing to do. I think it is tacky to not give the couple their gift because you couldn't find a sitter and didn't physically attend. But I think it is just as tacky for the couple to demand it.

    thats why its always a good idea to send out RSVP letters. And make people sign them in blood
