QuestionInvitation to friend’s granddaughter’s Christening states “monetary gifts only” and includes dinner menu with an $85 per plate price tag. My pal is mortified. How to I decline invitation with a message ?Community AnswerIf you want to be honest, politely explain that you don't have the financial resources to attend such an event. Or, you come up with something else that you have to do that day, and tell them you can't attend because of that. You can always send along a gift of your choosing even if declining.
