Is it wrong to skip a coworker's wedding I was invited to?
A coworker I'm not very close with invited me to their wedding. I feel like they invited half the office. I don't really want to go and spend money on a gift and a weekend for someone I barely know. Is it rude to decline a coworker's wedding invitation? Will it hurt our working relationship?

Talk to people who actually disagree with you instead of just reading things that confirm what you already believe. That's the only way I ever change my mind about anything. It's uncomfortable but worth it.
I think kindness goes a long way here. Whatever the 'right' answer is, you can usually find it by treating people the way you'd want to be treated. That old rule still works better than any complicated theory.
This is one of those topics where there's no single right answer — it depends heavily on your values and circumstances. I'd encourage you to look at it from multiple perspectives before forming a strong opinion.
