Hors d'oeuvre????

Yes. There's a good hour (or longer if anyone arrives early) between the start and dinner. People will be hungry after a church ceremony. The good news is you don't have to do anything crazy. Cracks, veggies, fruits, are all you need.

Yea, I would.

What will your guest be doing from 5-6pm? Will you be taking pictures??

If your guests will just be hanging out for an hour, definitely feed them.

I would definitely feed them. That’s a pretty long break. Food makes people happy while they’re waiting.

We will be taking pictures at church until probably 5:30 pm. After that everybody can go to the venue. The venue is 20 minutes from the church.

YUP I would definitely suggest serving appetizers to your guests! They would definitely appreciate the food

Yes, for sure. That is right before dinner time and people will be hungry. But also, what are people supposed to do for the 1 hour between your ceremony and reception? Is that for travel time? Since people will also have 30 minutes of waiting on you and your then husband to arrive, having food will be nice.

Yes I would feed them if you think about it guest arrive 330ish for 4 o clock ceremony and not eat until 7. their last meal was probably lunch noonish I would expect to be fed appetizers to hold me over.

Yeah, I would do something for them to snack on while they wait. We are doing a similar timeline to you, I’m leaning towards a cheese plate and maybe some chocolates for cocktail hour.

You don't need anything passed but a nice table with some veggies, dip, crackers, and cheese would probably make everyone pretty happy.

Yes, I would have food available as people are arriving at the reception location — something to entertain them while they wait for your arrival!
