No, there is no correlation between the amount spent on the guests at the wedding reception and the cost of a gift given to the married couple. The bride's parents pay for most of the wedding and the groom's parents pay for a smaller part of the wedding. Any gift given by a guest (generous, large or small) should be well received.

How did many of the unscrupulous guests behave at the wedding?

There will always be one or two at a wedding reception that acts up or is a pain the butt and this is generally caused by drinking too much and their inhibitions have flown to the four winds. Some guests who act up are just funny or perhaps make an annoyance of themselves with the guests while others can get nasty. It is up to the best man of the wedding to tell that person to leave. The maid of honor is to look after the bride and the best man is to look after the groom so if either see a problem with their guests they have the right to ask that guest to leave and if they do not then can ask the Manager where the reception is to have the guest escorted out without trying to get the attention of other guests. It isn't often a guest will get nasty at a wedding reception as most guests are in good spirits so if the person is happy and just having fun leave well enough alone.
