  There are two major etiquette red flags here:
  
  1. A reception is one event and all guests invited to the ceremony should also be invited to the entire reception. Dance-only invites are incredibly rude! What happens when your dinner runs long and those people only invited to the dance show up early and have to wait around for your dinner to finish? Or when two guests are chatting and one finds out they weren't included in the ceremony and dinner portion of the reception? If you are doing this because of space or money issues, then you either need to find a different venue to accommodate all 200 guests for the entire reception, or cut your guest list.
  
  2. Social units (dating, engaged or married couples) should be invited together, regardless of whether you know one of them personally. If you received a wedding invite with only your name (not your FI's), wouldn't you be a little offended and less excited to attend without him? Again, maybe you need to reconsider trimming your guest list if you can't accommodate all of your intended guests (including significant others).
