Reception Food

I would possibly add unsweet tea as an option for people that don't like sweet drinks but would like something in addition to water. You could possibly drop lemonade in favor of punch if you do that, or just keep both. Other than that, I think the menu looks good for an afternoon reception.

I would only be concerned about how you'll keep the chicken minis at a safe temperature since they stop serving them at 10:30 am and your reception doesn't begin until 4.5 hours later.

Yeah, do you have anyone in attendance who is vegetarian or vegan? Maybe add in some sort of veggie sandwich as well, even your meat eaters would go for something like that.

To me, 5 is considered a meal time (even if it's early for some people). Can you start the reception at 2 instead? Or can you add something else, like a pasta dish or macaroni salad or hot dogs/hamburgers?

I think that's fine to serve. My FH and I are doing a buffet for our reception but we're getting married a 4pm and dinner will be served around 5 (we're not doing a cocktail hour). I think for your plans for your reception, that menu is completely fine.

I think all of this sounds really good.
