Reception Card Time Details

Is the cocktail hour right after the ceremony? If so, just keep it simple. No one is going to go to the ceremony, skip cocktail hour, and then come to the reception.

Thank you! To clarify, the cocktail hour starts a couple hours after the ceremony. It's at a different site than the ceremony.

Ceremony: *time* at address
Cocktail Hour: 4pm at address

Reception: 6pm at address

Hi Nicole! Is the cocktail hour at the same venue as the wedding reception?

I think you can use general wording like "The celebration continues with cocktails, dinner, and dancing [include time and venue]" or you can be more direct with the timeline, like "Please join us for drinks at 4pm, followed by dinner and dancing at 6pm [venue info]".

Here are some general examples you can add more info to:

You can also go into more detail about the reception timeline on your wedding website!
