A card that says: "Your debt is forgiven. Here's to a clean slate and a new beginning in your life. Congratulations!" If it's tied around the neck of a wine bottle (doesn't have to be a $200 bottle, just a $20-30 decent one), then you really look like a good guy.

Go to the wedding, but don't take a gift. Or put a certificate in his card that says "Good for $50 off the $300 you owe me"...lol

If you are invited, and you want to go, then go. For a gift, get out your check book and write a check to yourself for whatever amount you feel is appropriate for a wedding gift, up to $300. On the "for" line, write "toward $300 debt incurred by Fred Deadbeat". Sign and cash the check. Get the cancelled check from your bank and put it in an inexpensive picture frame. Gift wrap.

Attend the wedding but don't bring a gift. If he/she dares to ask about it, tell him/her the $300 he/she owed you is the gift. And NEVER lend him/her any money anymore.

Dont bring up the $300 at the wedding. It took alot of guts to invite you knowing he still owes you money. I know $300 is a big chunk of change but you have obviously not starved. And it is not fair to the bride to have this brought up at the wedding. However, no gift. You dont have to be obvious about it or disrespectful. They dont (at least none i've been to) announce who has not brought gifts. If he brings it up later(which would take a lot of nerve) tell him you have already spent $300.00 on him and you cant afford to spend anymore on him. dont let it ruin your friendship unless you see him blowin' and goin'.

I am sure your friend feels really awkward about the money, I know I would never borrow money from a friend unless I knew I could pay it back within a matter of days. I would suggest you go to the wedding and buy a small but nice gift. If he was any sort of decent friend he would approach you and say that he will pay you back as soon as he can afford it

Give him a card with a message that he can keep the 300 dollars as a gift. He is probably not going to pay you anyway.

I would go to the wedding. The gift that you would have given can reflect the $300 being deducted from it if you are spending that much or more.

At this particular time, it might be better to put your differences aside.
Buy a wedding gift, and consider the debt paid...

first of all, were you invied to the wedding? if so, go. he is your friend, so go. as far as a gift goes, get him a small, inexpensive one. most couples register for gifts and there are usually many under $25 on their lists.
your $300 is probably gone. chalk it up to experience. never loan friends money. it will eat you alive if you keep obsessing about it.
