Did you mention cocktail hour on your invitations?

My ceremony and reception are at different locations and I was planning on having a details card and putting cocktails, dinner and dancing at 5:00 pm and then the reception location. Do you think I need to specify what time the cocktail hour is over and reception begins or when dinner will be served?

No need. Most people know that cocktail hour is an hour and that everything follows that. As a plus, if you don't specify the time the dinner starts your guests won't be watching the time if everything runs a little late.

And guests are also more likely to show up and eat your cocktail hr food and booze that you have paid for if they think it’s one seamless day.

I was fairly specific on my invitations so people could be better informed.

I listed full catholic mass at 2:00
cocktail hour and entertainment 3:30
then formal dinner reception and dancing 6:00

I know not everyone would want to attend a full mass, so I wanted them to be informed and also that my cocktail hour was unfortunately longer than normal (hotel screwed up, but I made it work with a comedy show), so they could plan accordingly.
