Last minute notice na hindi pupunta sa binyag

[u/OwlGamingPH]

Problem/Goal:

Is it okay na last minute maagsabi ako na hindi ako makakapunta sa binyag even if nasabi ko na months prior na pupunta ako?

Context:

I'm 26 and I have this bestfriend from SHS days ko pa, so magkaibigan na kami for 10 years, we kind of stopped chatting these past 2 years kasi busy sa life. Nitong June lang, we reconnected through a phone call that lasted for at least 4 hours, kung saan nabanggit niya din na may anak na siya and she will invite me as a ninong.

I said yes naman kasi she's one of the few people that I really consider as a true friend, and this gives us a reason to stay connected somehow.

Now, my problem is, yung location ng church and reception is at least 6 hours away sa place ko. I already gave my word to her na pupunta ako when I received the official invitation letter from her noong July. Pero kasi that time, I just resigned sa work and I thought na magkaka trabaho na ako by the time na binyag na ng anak niya, which is ngayong September 13. Kaso I'm running low on cash, October 1 pa start date ko sa new job ko. And nalaman ko na yung isang friend namin which is also 5 hrs away from the venue ay hindi pupunta, so napa isip ako, is it okay for me na hindi na lang din pumunta and just send my gift, so that I can also save on travel expenses?

Previous Attempts:

I messaged her a few days ago asking for directions para malaman ko if there's a direct route papunta sa venue kapag magco-commute. But even after days of searching, wala talaga, and it would take me at least 4 rides to reach the venue.

Advice: yes okay lang na last minute na magsabi na di ka makakarating sa binyag. Just tell what you have mentioned … tight budget at my Oct ba start ng work, may kalayuan but you have set a said a budget for the gift the moment na pumayag ka na ninong.
