... why do you think 唔擺酒 = not 好朋友?
just cautious.

唔擺酒 is not equal to not being invited to the reception. But of coz, reception costs alot in the expense in the wedding part. If they decide not to have reception, the gift would be less.

agree and I think the OP said his/her friend is not having a reception.
so yeah... less gift is reasonable. (or even just a congrat card!)

Yea, you are not being "invited" for the banquet because the banquet doesn't even exist, and there is a banquet but just you are not being invited, it's totally two different situations.

But still, really depends on the relationship between you and your friend. For example, my very good friend is getting married but there is absolutely no wedding ceremony nor dinner reception, cuz they're only signing the paper at home casually and going to spend most of the money for their honeymoon. Should I give them nothing? LOL
