A group of my husbands friends went canoeing and camping overnight. I invited a couple who are my friends.

They said they were coming but not staying overnight. I told them where they had to park and what time to meet me. They didn’t listen to me and decided they would drive to the canoe rental and catch a ride back to their car with the canoe company. I told them the canoe company can’t give them a ride back because we will arrive too late. They didn’t listen. They also invited another friend (who I intentionally didn’t invite).

Long story short, they left too late to meet the group at the correct meeting spot. They assumed they could rewire the planned trip to suit their needs. If they met the group at the beginning, their car would be stuck there overnight until the group left the next day because nobody was going to give them a ride.(We we’re staying overnight because everyone was drinking)

They end up not making the trip, and the group had to cover their $50 canoe rental.

The three friends went canoeing together at another location.

Should I tell them the group paid for their $50 canoe rental? Or should I leave it be? I honestly don’t want to reach out to these friends because this is kind of the last straw of drama with them, but they are also the type of people who would chase someone down over $50.
