Cocktail hour appetizers question?

(After much debate with my wonderful Mother, I have two questions for everyone..) 1. Do you or do you not serve some type of food at cocktail hour? (Small appetizers, finger foods, etc.) [Mother says "why feed them to feed them again?", I say feed them.] 2. If you are serving some type of something...

(After much debate with my wonderful Mother, I have two questions for everyone..)

1. Do you or do you not serve some type of food at cocktail hour? (Small appetizers, finger foods, etc.) [Mother says "why feed them to feed them again?", I say feed them.]

2. If you are serving some type of something during cocktail hour, what are you serving?

Note that our cocktail hour will take the full hour due to pictures (no first look), and I don't want people just standing around looking at each other. We will have alcohol served at the cocktail hour.

Thank you!

    I'm always team food, lol. I think cocktail hour implies food of some sort, typically small bites. The last wedding I was at did snack foods they both liked (dips and chips, fruit and veggies), and my best friend did a few different types of cheese, crackers, and antipasto. We are doing Mexican so our cocktail hour includes chips and salsa, guacamole, queso fountain and a tropical fruit tray.

    We may run over 5:30 with pictures, after that we’ll do entrances and dances, then dinner will be served. We still have 8 months so I don’t have an exact timeline yet, that’s an extremely rough one that I found. This was just to prove to my mother that we needed appetizers.

    Def food, cheese platter or veggie table type thing (I can never remember what they are called) or my fav at a recent wedding was mini grilled cheese with tomato soup shooters

    -Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Mango Salsa

    -Bacon-wrapped, feta-stuffed dates

    -Mini Pizzas (we met because he delivered a pizza to me)
