I also think the white shirt you already own with khaki pants or any other non-jean pants that you already own would be acceptable. If you already had a white Panama hat or other cool looking white hat, you could accessorize with that to show you made the effort. I don't think you'd need to do any more than that and certainly not more if isn't within your budget. Gifts are always your choice. I'd be tempted to just get him a card or a card and $5 Starbucks gift card.
IMO, your friend has made some faux paus in his invitation. I'm assuming there is a reason why he is considered a friend. As a friend, we sometimes overlook when our friends do something stupid. If you think you'd enjoy the party, I'd go there with a smile on my face and have a good time.
Because inside the Invite under preferred gift it says he prefers cash.
What nerve. A narcissistic, a-hole like that doesn't deserve enough friends to even have a party.

AND NEVER, EVER, pay for him
110% agree...took the words out of my mouth! Who the F does he think he is?! He wants cold hard cash! I wish everyone would each bring 1 penny. There you go. But seriously, I wouldn't even care to go.

The party is on 6/20 and so far only 13 are going from his facebook friends list.
Show-up in a white t-shirt and white briefs, then hand him $100,000 in Monopoly money - you'll save money AND you'll be the talk of the party.
So glad I didn't read your post on a crowded bus because I definitely would have busted out in laughter and had everyone looking at me like I was crazy. lol
I really don't get what the problem is. You don't like to drink and party. You don't have the funds to go buy clothes. You don't want to give money. This isn't so much about "I don't think I can attend." It's more "I don't want to go." If he's a friend, you make an effort to do what you can, and he'll understand. If he's just a Facebook friend, the others are right. He probably won't notice if you're there or not.
Stop stressing about it, and just decline the invitation. You don't even have to give a reason. I decline Facebook event invites a lot, especially when it's obvious that the person creating the event is just inviting their entire friends list.
I'm going to send him a message on facebook to call me so I can find out how important is this attire to be all white because I don't have it in my budget
You were invited to a "white party". The point of a white party is everybody dresses in all white clothing. Looking for a dispensation is bad form. Could it be that you are self-conscious about being overweight and forced to wear clothing that accentuates it? 300 lbs dressed in all white is going to look pretty bad.
In any case, I think the gift request is absurd, and if any friend of mine put that in an invitation I would so happily NOT GO it would be ridiculous. My decision would have been made in 3.46 seconds and would sound like this: GTFOH.
So, if you don’t wear all white….what’s he going to do? Kick you out? I’d wear the white shirt and whatever pants you normally wear and move on. You won’t be the only one not wearing all white.
