Woman Receives $75 Bill After Missing Relative's Wedding

Jessica Baker tells KARE 11 that she missed a wedding she RSVPed to after her babysitting plans fell through at the last minute, and she couldn't bring her uninvited children along to the adults-only reception. A few weeks later, the Golden Valley, Minnesota resident was flabbergasted to receive a $75.90 dinner invoice in the mail for the fish entrées she and her husband would have consumed at the couple's reception.

Tip of the Day: Getting married in the autumn? "While the warm hues that make up a fall wedding palette are beautiful, sometimes oranges and browns become muted against a backdrop that already includes these colors, like an outdoor wedding amongst the changing leaves. To harmonize with a fall wedding setting, use complimentary colors. We love moody blue tones as they create a vibrant look that highlights — not clashes with — the oranges, yellows and browns in the changing leaves," says Sarah Chancey from Chancey Charm.

She also recommends adding gold-painted pumpkins for a luxe element to your décor.
