Wedding Breakfast

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone else has a problem with the words 'wedding breakfast'. I have had a number of people ask why we asked them about the breakfast (on the return slip) when they were not going to be there for the morning!
I am Australian, but my English OH convinced me that EVERYONE know that the breakfast was the reception and would understand. Well, I can tell you that they don't understand, and have had lots of confused questions. I hate making people feel silly, and I feel that I have by asking a question that doesn't make sense. Calling it 'breakfast' is confusing to me... and it turns out to other people too.
What do you guys think? Do you know automatically what a wedding breakfast is, or would you also be confused!? What is wording are people using for this - reception, meal, breakfast etc??

You can call it what you want. People often say the reception, Traditionally it is the wedding breakfast as it was the first meal after the wedding.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

had been invited and they were confused about the phrase toomake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
