They definitely have that right. It might not be entirely OK but if they said they just wanted the regular wedding party there then that's what they did. But you have no idea (I assume) if it was a financial issue, do you? It could have just been an issue of them wanting SPECIFICALLY the wedding party together at this dinner with no outsiders or something like that.
Regardless, this is NOT really the issue. The issue is how you reacted to it. The issue is whether it's acceptable to decline the invitation based on them not wanting to include your spouse. And I think the answer to that in this situation is no.
