...there are 3 checkboxes in the RSVP note,
1) Will be attending ceremony
2) Will be attending evening banquet
3) Will not attend
also, let's say you are an introvert (and most likely will not know anyone else at the party), which of the three options would you check off?
Note: person getting married is a good guy who you went to college with.

just attend the both 1) and 2). he hasn't seen you in awhile so it'll be nice to see him. bring a gift and maybe a date. or go to the wedding and meet some people. quit being an introvert and mingle! go to the wedding and have some fun!

Well being this is one of you friends, I'd check the ceremony. The ceremony should be the wedding itself. Being you're introverted...you could attend his wedding, but not have to visit with anyone else because you have to be quiet for the wedding. If you got to the banquet, which should be the reception, then you would be expected to mingle with other guests and that doesn't sound like you're type of thing. But yet you want to attend because it's your friend. So why not check number 1????

How long ago was college? I don't think you have a duty to attend but if you do and you're not crazy about attending the banquet, it's in no way a violation of etiquette just to go to the ceremony. Kind of show your face, wish them well, and go for a burger.

Well, i think that if you want to go, go. But, if you feel uncomfortable about not knowing anybody, then I would just not go the ceremony because that tends to be more personal with close family and friends (not to say your not) but I feel that it would be more uncomfortable. But go to the party, you don't have to know everyone and take this opportunity to have fun and meet new people, and maybe you might meet someone there, if you don't already have a special person in your life. But, if you don't go to neither, then I feel that you don't have to give them a gift but respond back to their invite gracefully or send them a card it you wish.

By distant do you mean he live's far away, or that you like him but aren't really buddies? If it's the first one~~~~ Go if it doesn't put a strain on your finances. Go to the evening banquet. You can leave early if you don't like it, but it would be a good place to try hanging out with other people. Plus, you would get some yummy food.
If it's the second~~~ I would reply~~~ Will not attend.
Good luck.

If you don't want to attend then check will not attend and send a gift. I wouldn't feel bad about not going since he is a distant friend but I do think you should send a gift.

ya bring a friend along so you won't be bored. and hey how many weddings do you go to?? being a fellow introvert, take this an oppurtunity to do something out of your box and different for once. it'll probably be more interesting than anything else you'll be doing. and hey there's free food and entertainment!! who doesn't love that?
oh and don't forget a gift

I would check both 1 and 2 catch up on old times with your buddy. Who know you may meet people that you know. Besides lots of Single women go to weddings.

I think you should go have lunch with your friend (groom to be) and decide if he's a jerk or still a good guy and decide then. But on the contrary, if you went to lunch with him... he might expect you to go. And if you don't know anyone there, at least you know the groom.
