Weddings are expensive events and can be a touchy subject when it comes to who to invite. My suggestions is that I would invite these friends to the ceremony and then throw a separate get-together for those friends you wanted to invite to the reception but were unable to. If they are good friends they'll understand and if they still don't then I would take it for face value.
Hope this helps.
