Wedding ?: Invited on the B list, can I go to reception only??
I was just invited to a wedding on Oct 2, which is fine, the bride is a co-worker and I wasn't really expecting an invitation so it's nice to be included on the B list 
HOWEVER... her wedding is on a Friday at 3:30pm in a city about an hour away. DH could most definitely not get there in time because he does not have flexible hours. The bride said it would be OK to just go to the dinner and reception, but we can barely make it for dinner (we'd be missing most of cocktail hour too).
Given that I was a B-list invite, do you think it's OK to go to a wedding but only arrive for the dinner at the reception?? I know the bride is OK with it, but something still seems wrong about the whole idea.
Re: Wedding ?: Invited on the B list, can I go to reception only??
My BIL just had the same thing, wedding on a Friday at 3 pm and he told his guests that he completely understood if they could not make it until the reception. A lot of people made it but there were quite a few who couldn't as in your situation where they don't have the time off work.
If the bride says that she would understand then I would go with that.

I'm with the girls. Mel has a good point. If you aren't big on going, politely decline and explain that the timing wouldn't work for DH.
However, if you are excited to go, for sure she would understand that you couldn't make it until dinner. I know I wouldn't be offended!
It doesn't sound like a typical B-list invite! (Those mean you're invited to the ceremony and reception only --- NOT the dinner. A bit tacky, but whatever.)
Go to whichever bits you want. Lots of people skip the ceremony. Or give it a miss altogether if you're not in the mood to go. Just RSVP on time.
I think it's totally fine to just arrive for the dinner/reception.
Plus half the time these things are running a bit late, so you may not get there as late as you think anyway!
I had no expectation of EVERYONE being at everything!
We had ppl show up half way through dinner because they had a long drive and had to work! dinner wasnt until 7 and so whatever.
If the bride is okay with it then you shoud be; now if you dont really want to go then don't go at all!
