I mean, why bother inviting these people in the first place if you are going to be tacky and rude like that?
The kicker: the couples still expect gifts from the ceremony-only people.
Stay classy.

I think this is ridiculous, but I definitely see no problem with it the other way around. As in only inviting family and close friends to the ceremony to keep it more simple and private and then inviting others to the reception. Which obviously is not something that really cuts down on costs (other than perhaps being able to book as smaller ceremony venue) but I think can still be a nice way to do it for some couples.
SO's sister did this, as they got married in a very very small church, and I thought it was wonderful to be surrounded only by close friends and family for that moment, and not have her bombarded with a ton of people immediately after exchanging vows.
