  I discussed this one a while ago, but I went to a good friend's wedding in July that was the worst one I have ever been to. The ceremony location was almost a mile away from the hotel listed on the invitation, 2 hour gap after walking back to the hotel in 85 degree heat and 100% humidity, no seating during the cocktail hour despite elderly guests who had walkers, and a 20 minute speech from each person in the bridal party. At least the food was good and there was an open bar....
  
  I was really surprised, as my friend told me about dinner parties they attended while at college (Harvard graduates!) where they had to learn proper etiquette. I also really didn't appreciate seeing the fireworks at the end of the night when they could have spent that money properly hosting the gap instead.
  

  To the bolded - it's an extra kick in the pants when you can see where they spent money that should have been spent properly hosting their guests.

  I sincerely hope they put "strawberry and chips reception to follow" on the invitation.
