Hello ladies! I've been working on my reception detail cards and am having a tough time with how to lay it out. It's in a different location than the ceremony itself and I would like to detail that cocktails are at 4 and dinner at 6. That way if a guest doesn't want to come to the cocktail hour, they will know when the dinner starts. Have any of you done this or do you keep it more simple? Thanks for the help and congratulations to you all!

Is the cocktail hour right after the ceremony? If so, just keep it simple. No one is going to go to the ceremony, skip cocktail hour, and then come to the reception.

Thank you! To clarify, the cocktail hour starts a couple hours after the ceremony. It's at a different site than the ceremony.

Ok, so then I would maybe just include a short timeline in the details card:
Ceremony: *time* at address
Cocktail Hour: 4pm at address
Reception: 6pm at address

Hi Nicole! Is the cocktail hour at the same venue as the wedding reception?
I think you can use general wording like "The celebration continues with cocktails, dinner, and dancing [include time and venue]" or you can be more direct with the timeline, like "Please join us for drinks at 4pm, followed by dinner and dancing at 6pm [venue info]".
Here are some general examples you can add more info to:
