My advice is simple.
If you weren't invited in a timely manner don't go. (Personally I require at least a months notice for a large event or reception ... but that's me)
Save the money you will have spent on going and buy yourself a favorite take-out and a dessert on the way home from work.
Logic: You'll get paid for working and you'll save a ton on the cost of going (hair, nails, dress, shoes, gift).

@Threepio I like your thinking. Glad it's not just me thinking this was unreasonable.
I'd at least think of my god sister wanted me there she'd take me into consideration more.
But I always place importance on the titles of family.
You know being an only child n all.

Thanks!
Feel free to use my line: "Thanks for thinking of me, but I have a conflicting commitment."

@Threepio would it be rude of me to email her and her mother or would it be better if I let the message go the route it came. Through my mother?
@Mellowgirl If there was no RSVP and it wasn't a formal invitation, I would think an e-mail to the bride only would suffice. Just keep it short, simple and drama free ... IE "Thanks for thinking of me, but I have a conflicting commitment."
