Why hide your light under a bushel of bears, I ask you?

yes.
both of my brothers' had very formal,adult only weddings.
The bride and groom do not put an "Announcement" in the church newsletter if they are inviting the congregation. They put in an "invitation." Wedding Announcements are usually put in the newsletter the week AFTER the wedding, to let the congregation know that the marriage has taken place.
How would people "tell you that no one but the people invited to the reception are invited to the ceremony" if they had no clue you were intending to come to the ceremony? Here, the invitation to the ceremony is what tells you you are invited. If you don't get one of those, you know you are not invited.
An pre-wedding announcement published in the paper usually does not have a time -- and sometimes not even a cermony location -- in it, ime.
I have honestly not heard of it being OK for just anyone to wander into a wedding ceremony, no.
I have been to as many Catholic wedding masses as I've been invited to....I don't know, maybe twelve or fifteen in the last twenty years? And no, no one searched me at the door to see if I had an invitation, it was just assumed that everyone there was there because either they had been invited to be there. I wouldn't presume to just show up at someone's wedding uninvited.
On the other hand, sometimes I asked people if they were going to so-and-so's (Catholic) wedding, and they said they weren't because they weren't invited.
Dh and I had a "crasher" too, but it wasn't a big deal.
