Planning a Thursday wedding is really setting the expectation that few out-of-town guests will be able to attend. Send a gift, along with regrets, and see if you can attend a shower or engagement event that is on a weekend.
They will certainly save money on their venue and entertainment going with a weeknight, and they've guaranteed that the people they invite out of courtesy from out of town won't be able to come.
It is unrealistic to expect out of towners to take so much time off-- if it were a Friday night or Sunday, then perhaps, yes, take one day off. But that is a bit much.
Sorry this didn't work out.
