Our wedding is very inconvenient for many of our old friends, and I have no hard feelings towards anyone who doesn't spend the time/money to come. I don't WANT them to feel like the "have to" come, even if they would enjoy it once they were here. Especially since there is a reception later, let yourself off the hook and explain sincerely that it is just too difficult, and write a really nice wedding card with your gift. :) That's what I'd want a friend to do!

Explain that you can't get the Friday off work. It's going to be expensive and a pain, why not just fuzz the details. If you say you can't get Friday off, you're technically correct. But she'll assume you actually asked. So no hard feelings all around. If there’s going to be a reception later, do that. Explain that you can’t get the Friday off work.
