So my fiance and I have opted to do a cocktail hour instead of the typical reception this year due to covid. we will have open bar, cake and appetizers . my hubby and I will do our first dance, dance with our parents, champagne toast and mingle for a bit and call it done. our big reception will be next year when we can do it the way we want it.


does this sound like a good alternative or is it tacky?

    Hi thanks for the input. we are hosting our ceremony at the same venue so we will have ample seating options for the guests as well.

    I agree that this sounds like a wedding reception. Smiley smile As long as you are hosting people sufficiently (food and drink appropriate to the time of day and occasion) then, congrats, it's a reception. I don't mean this in a snarky way. I mean that you shouldn't worry that you are doing something *instead* of a reception. I would shift the way you think and talk about your event. It's not something "less than".

    Nope that don't sound like a Bad thing,
    It's After lunch which is supposed to be the biggest meal of the day anyway..
    Tacos, and mini sliders are perfect. Happy Planning 💐
