Is it just me or is it RUDE to invite someone to the wedding but NOT the reception?  I thought if you had to exclude people, then you did not invite them to the actual ceremony and still included them for the reception.  ie the church was way too small to accommodate the 460 people invited to the wedding but of course who wants to pay for anything close to that many people at a reception? 

 

Is this normal to exclude you from the reception if you're invited to the wedding?  Do I have it backwards???
