Not inviting friends and acquaintences to the reception is considered "cheap" and a grab at gifts without actually inviting them to celebrate your marriage.
Check out the Etiquette Hell forums - they usually debate the pros and cons of various etiquette rules. This thread may explain my thinking:

Issue is, we aren't 'in need' (not saying it to be snotty if you know what I mean) of a lot of gifts so that's not the case. We have rather large families that are coming from out of town and, those jokers are getting a free meal...LOL. We also have a lot of people that have expressed an interest in coming and as time draws closer I keep looking over and over the list of people we want to invite trying to figure out who we really would like to come and those we would rather not invite. We also know that there are a few who 'say' that are coming that won't show so.....HHMMmmmm
