| It's like saying "Hey, I want your gifts, but you're not important enough to be invited to the real thing. Thanks a lot, sucker!" |

| I thought it meant they like me well enough to not have to sit through their boring ceremony, but they were glad to provide me with free alcohol. |

| Hmmm... I've usually heard of things going the other way around. (And I think that's rude.) What's the logic behind this, I wonder? |

| A couple may choose to have a private, intimate wedding for only family members and/or close friends. But they may want to have a large celebration (reception) afterwards for everyone to enjoy. It's not uncommon and it certainly isn't rude. |

| Yea i think it is stupid and rude to. But maybe its because they want immediate family and other family and some friends but cant fit everyone in the church so think.. hey its ok if i only invite them to the reception.But on the other hand there are jerks who dont come to your wedding but then come to your reception only for the bar and the free food. |

| I've never seen anyone do that!! Totally classless unless the wedding is abroad or really small or something and they just want to have a big celebration afterwards. |

| Many people keep the wedding small so it is easier to handle.They reception is the celebration of the wedding.Now if they invited you to the wedding and not the reception well that is another story.Remember, the gift should match the cost of the free dinner they are providing for you. |

| A lot of people would rather go to the celebration after and enjoy the couple and the party! Sometimes the reception venue can accomodate more than the church/ceremony can. I'd just relax about it. And if you don't feel right bringing a gift, DONT! Gifts aren't mandatory! |

| I've never heard of that before. I have to deal with people coming to the reception for free food and drinks and to freeload. If it bothers you talk to whoever invited you and explain calmly how it hurts your feelings. |

| it happens a lot and it doesn't necessarily mean they are jerks. it is an accepted custom. sometimes there are space requirements. sometimes folks just want a different feel for their wedding than for their party after. it is certainly their right. they want you to be there in some fashion, you should think of it that way instead of immediately taking the negative view. |

| Okay, the reception is the expensive part of the wedding!!! Its WAY worse to be invited to the ceremony at the church, but not the reception afterwards!!! They might be having a small intimate ceremony, but they want to celebrate in the reception with the rest of their friends. Don't take offense, you get to attend the FUN part. |

| Often, people will show up to the reception without attending the wedding.Too, the church (or wherever the ceremony may be) may not be big enough. I ended up changing my ceremony to a different location because the original church could only hold 144 (we have about 400 on our guest list). Not everyone has the ability or option to switch locations. If you don't like it, just don't go. Keep this in mind too, you don't have to buy them a gift, but they'll be feeding you and getting you drunk on their dime. |

| When there is an option, I would prefer an invitation to the reception. |

| I have NEVER not been invited to the church- does sound a bit rude. Maybe the church is too small? Not like it cost anymore to have you at the church..... I would ask them! |
