The party is on 6/20 and so far only 13 are going from his facebook friends list.
Let me guess, he invited around 50+ people & most aren't true, genuine friends...probably 99.9% are aquaintances he met here & there & had very little, shallow interactions with. I mean even you haven't seen him in a decade. Or if they are mostly genuine friends, they're ALL a bunch of smug, self-centered, think-they're-so-together losers.

Oh man, you're killing me. That's being way too nice. Don't respond AT ALL.

Don't worry about it. You're worrying way to much about something that isn't actually relevant to your life.

Wow, you're seriously still wanting to go?! Not to be mean here, but that really says a lot about YOUR character, values, & morals. Anyone who requests cash for their own party is no one I'd want to associate myself with. That shows he's a person of narcissistic, shallow, smug, materialistic, and/or tackily needy, desperate characteristics. People of the same type are frirends with each other for a reason, otherwise, they each wouldn't like or couldnt' stand each other. Surely you have better things to do w/ your time that day (but guess not)...like wash your hair. That would be a lot more fun I'm sure.
LOL That is what I was thinking. If I got an invitation like this, I think I would rather stay home and clean the toilet.
Last week he posted on his event page that he needs to know by June 1st who is coming to the party so can have an idea of the overall numbers. As of right now there are only 13 people going from his facebook friends list which is really 12 because my appearance has not been confirmed. lol
Whether the request comes from a charity or from somebody who is throwing a party, if somebody is going to suggest what form my gift should take, or--even worse--to suggest the amount of my gift, you can be sure that I will not respond or attend.
Even if I had to sit alone in a darkened room on that day, I would opt to NOT attend that gold-digger's party.

I'm guessing his close friends got an evite and responded that way.
The problem I am facing is that I only have a white shirt not the pants and shoes which I believe is expected for this type of party. On top of that he prefers everyone who he invited to the party to bring him MONEY as a gift. So it's no way I can go out and purchase shoes and pants and give him money for a gift when I still have to deal with my own financial situations. I still have to buy some summer clothes and finish paying off my credit card, go on dates, and save money.
So I am not sure how he will take me telling him I won't be able to make it but I just can't and was not expecting to be invited to a party where I have to buy clothes to attend and bring a gift. And let's say I do find whites shoes and pants to go with my shirt, that would be a outfit I would not be able to wear the rest of the summer which would not be wise spending. Anything I buy to wear in June I want to be able to wear in July and August too so it looks like I will have to miss his party which may end our friendship.
Thrift stores...and bring him 40 cents or $1...that is all a grown man needs from his friends.
That is complete and UTTER nonsense to expect people to wear white. I would drop that friend in a heartbeat!
If you decide to go, wear a white shirt, black pants and bring a white birthday card, even if you have to make it.
