IT'S no secret that weddings can cost a pretty penny, but one bride might've taken things too far with her attempt to claw back some cash.
This comes after a weddings guest revealed she was sent a heft invoice on her invitation from a friend she hadn't spoken to in years.
Taking to Reddit, the guest explained that she no longer speaks to the bride-to-be since she first got engaged and "cut off all her single friends."
But the two years of radio silence ended when the woman received an email from a wedding coordinator with an invite and an invoice.
"At the bottom of the invite was a bill for $400 [£314] to pay for the venue plus $150 [£118] for the meal.

"I know this varies around the world but where I am the bride and groom or maybe their family pays for the venue and food.
"Not random people you don’t talk to," the woman slammed.
But things went from bad to worse when the woman realised she could see who else the email was sent to, and there was only 20 altogether, which raised some suspicions.
"I guess she’s pretty much only inviting me to help pay a cost," the woman mused.
"I would never have the balls to do that to someone especially after telling them we can’t be friends cause you’re engaged and can’t have single friends," she continued.
After declining the invitation the woman spoke to a mutual friend who was also invited to the wedding, only to find out her suspicions of only being invited to help cover costs were likely correct.
In fact, the woman claimed she wasn't on the original guest list but was rather a backup plan if other people couldn't attened.
"She REALLY needed people to come to this wedding cause the venue gives her a discount if the quantity of people reaches a certain amount.
"Everyone in the wedding party is not paying. So I was like a last resort type thing, basically," she explained.
After sharing the story on social media people were stunned that the bride would ask for money, especailly after not speaking to the woman in years.

"Reply all that you haven’t spoken to her in years and don’t feel like being used in a cash grab," one person commented on the the post.
A second agreed: "This is such a bizarre and scummy thing to do.
"You cut off contact with someone and only contact them after two years of no contact just so you can squeeze $550 dollars out of them?
"Seriously? Does she think money grows on trees or something?"
And another wrote: "Decline the invite but send a nice gift, a book on etiquette."
"Oh I'd send her a card with monopoly money in," someone else joked.
