I've been to "three tier" dos - wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast (why breakfast?), evening informal party. It's not unusual in my experience for people to be invited to the first and third, but for there not to be enough places (i.e. not enough of a catering budget) for everyone to attend the second.
I may be wrong, but I think at least in churches and registry offices, any member of the public is entitled to turn up to a wedding, invited or not. ( And other venues apparently - see this (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/feb/21/monarchy.claredyer)).
