#3. Hit the road whenever possible

Although, this is only possible if the destination is feasibly reachable by road, but this can be a very economical way of travelling, whether you are alone or have a bunch of other people going with you. You can either rent a car or drive on your own to reach the wedding destination. In either case, it will be fun as you and your other friends can dance, sing, and get ready for the wedding madness to begin.

#4. Rail gaadi

You should definitely not miss the fun you can have during a train journey, that too before a wedding. Check with your friend about who all are invited and you can book your tickets together! However, if you are all by yourself, you could just stack a couple of books in your bag or load some good music in your iPod and be ready for the journey! Just make sure you are prepared if it takes you more than a day to reach the destination!

We know how terrible it can be to miss your friend’s wedding, but if you cannot go, it’s okay. However, before you say this to your buddy, just make sure you’ve tried every possible way to make it to the wedding. Finally, if you cannot, you can at least make up for it virtually. See if one of your friends who are invited, can give you LIVE updates from the wedding. If there is a hashtag for the wedding, make sure you follow that too. Above all, if your friend does understand your situation, your equation would not change at all! So, just be honest with him/her.
