People that know how to spend other people's money are sh**.... A man or a woman who earns their money has the right to spend it on whatever they see fit. If that happens to be a lavish wedding for themselves or their kids, that is their prerogative....your job is to enjoy it, not pass judgement on their intelligence.
That said, if you are going to have a reception, make it one that you can look back proudly on...one that makes a good memory for you and your guests. If you aren't going to throw a good reception, don't throw one at all. The reception is for your guests....don't insult them with some cheap ass affair after they give up their day and get dressed up and bring a wedding gift.
....and one other thing...when you are going to wedding, you go in a shirt and a tie and dress slacks (minimum), unless the invitation says specifically that the affair is casual.
This may be the most unpopular opinion on here judging by some of the other comments, but somebody has to educate you fu***** on basic social graces.
