How good of a friend are you to this "buddy"? If he's a close friend then I'd say you should go and support him on an important day. If he's just a golfing partner, do what you want. You're not IN the wedding so you're not obligated to go. RSVPing No and sending a nice gift is how you get out of it.

Clearly you are a great friend. I hope this person isn't important to you b/c they aren't going to like you for skipping out on their wedding.
Just tell them a work situation or emergency situation has come up and you won't be able to make it to the wedding. You should still send a gift though. These people have already paid for you to eat and drink!!!

Finding 'something better' to really isn't a good reason to not keep your word. If you told your friend you would be there, then you really should be there unless an emergency arises. Whatever you do, don't make up a fake reason why you can't go. If you decide not to go, just tell him you cannot attend.... and leave it at that.
seriously - go to the wedding.

"something better"? unless it's the birth of your child.. or someone died.. and that wouldn't be better. You go to the buddie's wedding. You responded to an invite - you are obligated b/c they are paying for your meal and probably spending a decent amount of money for you to attend. Weddings are actually fun - just go

If this buddy of yours is someone you're really close to, you should go to his wedding. If not, simply decline on the invitation and send him a nice gift.

Tell them is not possible for you to go all the way over his place and send them a gift.
But if that was your plan for a month ago, and his your friend why are you gonna change it just like that, by the way your friend wedding is only one time, and maybe the other stuff that you want to do is possible to do it another time.

Tell them something has come up but only bow out if you are giving them plenty of time to cancel you off the list, cos then they would have to pay for your meal anyways.
I would smooth it all over by sending a gift anyway.

How rude of you!
I would hurry up and let him know that due to unforeseen circumstances you cannot attend the wedding, and hope that they can inform the caterers of the last minute cancellation.

Since you are obviously not close to your friend, just tell them the truth something came up, but tell them soon because otherwise they will get stuck paying for your plate.
If you are a good friend you would go!
