Hello, I'm getting married in October and we decided to forego the formal sit down dinner. We've been to many weddings and are both introverts and find the formal sit down dinner to be a bit painful if you're not sat at the right table. We also went to a wedding that was more cocktail style and had a blast. We've decided to have heavy appetizers coupled with food stations. There will be more than enough food to feed everyone. The venue is partly outside and partly inside. There will be seating for everyone between the inside and outside. Outside will have round tables and inside will have small and large tables along a banquette with high top cocktail tables down the center of the room. I just don't know how to word the invites so my guests aren't confused when they walk into the reception and are not given a specified seat at a table. I feel that the food stations elevate it beyond just a cocktail style reception and I don't want the guests thinking they're going to leave hungry!
