Been invited to evening wedding reception of an acquaintance. Said yes but now on reflection, me and dh won't know anybody there, won't be able to drink as it's nearly an hour away and not forking out for a taxi, will have to spend a fortune on an outfit as I'm so fat nothing fits me... help?

It sounds like you just don't fancy it now. Do bear in mind that most evening receptions factor in food, minimum bar spend etc so the bride/groom does deserve to be told.
Next time I'd maybe think before you accept though, I can't imagine any of these things were things you didn't know when you accepted the invite.

"Hi bride/groom,
Really sorry but I've got my dates mixed up! I've said that DH and I would be happy to attend your reception but I've just realise we've already arranged for Dfamily members birthday meal/our anniversary meal/to look after Dnieces and nephews while parents enjoy a night away/dog sitting for my cousin/etc. I need to get more organised don't I! Thanks for the invite though and we hope you'll have a fantastic day celebrating your wedding.
OP and DH"
