A family emergency is a perfectly legitimate excuse for not being able to attend the wedding. I'm sure your co-worker isn't going to hold that against you. However, since you did RSVP you should definitely give the couple a gift - monetary or otherwise. Again, as long as you explain why you weren't able to be there, I'm sure the couple will understand. And I can almost bet that you weren't the only one who was unable to attend at the last minute.

I agree with LOLA, apologize for not being able to attend do to a family emergency and give her a wedding gift. I had a similar situation happen to me a few years back where i was supposed to attend a former co-workers wedding. Her wedding was 2 hours away and i had transportation issues and couldn't attend at the last minute. I obviously apologized (since i know she put money out for my meal) and give the couple a nice wedding gift anyway.

If you had a family emergency to attend to, there's no need for an apology. Your co-worker should be able to understand that your family is going to be more important than her reception.

I agree. In those not undemanding financial circumstances it extremely is not very worrying to flow with to burden somebody who would be beginning a clean kin as quickly as they have already defined the peerlessly ideal reason on why attendence ought to be constrained... That stated, it extremely is each and every individual's decision- and not mandatory to attend. even with the shown fact that, making a fuss and making use of that as a reason is somewhat impolite and shabby. considerable others can not attend each and every experience, and human beings could desire to be expertise... exceptionally if it extremely is an worker basically experience. Edit: I trust others besides, do not communicate/gossip approximately it around the paintings-place through fact it casts a undesirable cloud over what's meant to be a happy time. you're ultimate basically letting it slide for the solid of all.

Send her a congratulatory card... perhaps add a gift card for a store they frequent or a restaurant they like, add a check, send a gift from their registry...or just send the card and apologize for not being there...no need for details. Instead, let them know you have them in your thoughts. There are always a few people that cannot make it for one reason or another, even if they said they would be there. I'm sure there will be no hard feelings...they will understand :)

If it was a family emergency she should understand. I would buy her a small gift with a lovely card, apologize for having to miss the ceremony and explain what happened.
