A Chicago couple sends a $ 240 bill to guests who did not attend the wedding

We have heard of huge and expensive weddings, but guests are charged for not attending a reception.

A Chicago couple sent bills to guests who decided not to attend the wedding reception without informing the couple. Calling them guests “Don’t Call, Don’t Show,” Doug Simmons and Dedra McGee said they would charge these guests $ 240 for the reception dinner for them and theirs.

Posting the photo of the bill on Facebook, Doug wrote, “Don’t be offended when I send you this # invoice. It will be something like that. I will send it by email and certified mail … in case I said I will not receive the email 🤷🏾‍♂️😂 #PETTYPOST ”

An invoice note reads: “This invoice is sent to you because you confirmed the place at the wedding reception during the final count. The above amount is the cost of individual seats. Because you did not call us or properly notify us that you would not attend, this amount is what you owe us to pay for your seats in advance. You can pay via Zelle or PayPal. Please contact us and let us know which payment method works for you. Thank you! “

Guests were given a month to pay the amount of the couple whose wedding took place at the Royalton Negril Resort & Spa in Jamaica.

In another post, Doug wrote: “And gno more than 200 messages from the inbox of people who thanked me for posting #INVOICE. Many have shared horror stories about people who didn’t show up. Weddings and birthday parties … very sad. My #PETTYPOST has become something deeper … it has exposed people’s lack of responsibility and has always found a way to become a victim. ”

Said Doug al New York Post that he and his wife were injured because the guests did not show up to the wedding of their planned dreams and this made them take this step.

“We asked four times,‘ Are you available to come, can you do that? “And they kept saying ‘Yes,'” said Doug, who had to pay in advance as it was a destination wedding in Jamaica.

Saying that no one informed the couple that they could not attend the wedding, Doug told the Post: “That’s all I asked for. If you tell me you can’t get it, would you be understanding, but don’t tell me anything, but let me pay for you and yours more? Four people became eight people. I took it personally. “

After the photo of the bill went viral, netizens showed their surprise at the couple’s move. While some defined it as a “tacky” move, many others appreciated it and talked about their own experiences of people not showing up after confirming it.
