Foregoing cocktail hour??

My fiancé and I are doing a first look before the ceremony. We’ll get out pictures done there (& the bridal party as well).

Was thinking of not having a cocktail hour. Would that be fine? Instead go to the reception after, same place. I wanted to have not just music and dancing but also games to entertain the guests during reception, ie scavenger or quizzes for fun and photo booth. That being said the area would be set up with different games instead of the usual apps for cocktail hour. I’d rather use the space for activities than more tables and what not.

Plus we’ll be having dinner quite quickly, and the ceremony will be less than 45 min. I feel like ppl will mingle regardless at the reception.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks!!

    I see your points. We are having a more casual affair. The officiant will bless the food after the ceremony and invite everyone to get in line for food and/or bar. We think it would be more rude to make people wait while smelling smoked brisket lol. We'll make our entrance and go straight into the first dance while everyone is eating.
