Thanks, everybody, for all your advice.

I chatted it over with Mr. KKC last night, and we decided that we're going to suck it up and go, then duck out early if things get too stressful. There will be other guests in attendence with whom it might be possible to salvage some sort of friendship, provided that I do not cede the moral high ground. Plus, if I have a chance to get my $100 back, I'll need to suck it up.

There will be an open bar (yay!) but no cookie table (boo!). There will, however, be a chocolate fountain (even better!).

She's not getting a gift, though. According to all the etiquette manuals I've read, you have up to a year to give a wedding gift, and to quote the lady herself, "I don't have any spare money right now." Unless things change any time soon, Bridezilla is getting a $10 gift card to Wal-Mart.
