We are thinking about having finger food as our "meal" for the reception, since the ceremony will be at 7pm. Would it be normal to have a cocktail hour before that as well? What should we serve at each one? We were thinking about just doing desserts at the reception and other finger food at the...

    You need a meal. Don't call it a cocktail hour. How long is your ceremony? Ideally people would have food/drinks in hand by 7:45

    If not planning to serve dinner, state that in the invite! 7 pm would still make me think dinner was being served
