"Gourmet Burger Bar" wording HELP please!

It's time to order invites - and we are getting them made at a local print shop. 
Our ceremony will be at 5:30, with a "Gourmet Burger Bar" following at 6.

The invitation says:
__________: 6-9 pm | DANCE : 8-Midnight

I need to find a concise way to indicate what we're serving. 

Obviously, its causal, so I don't want to say "Dinner." I want them to know they're coming for Build-Your-Own Burger, Chicken Sandwich, or Brat, with Salad, Grown-Up Mac and Cheese, Roasted Potatoes, Potato Salad, and Beans, and any topping you could want. They will be grilling the food as the buffet line goes. 

Any ideas? 
I think "Burger Bar" is maybe TOO specific. "Dinner" is too vague and fancy.

Thanks Ladies!

    Why don't you just say "Reception to follow" and indicate on your wedding website (if you do one) that it's a burger bar? I don't find the word "dinner" fancy. I eat dinner every night, and sometimes it's fish sticks and mac n cheese.
    This is how I'd do it too.  The word "dinner" just indicates that it's a meal-not how fancy the meal actually is.
  • "Reception to follow".  It is incorrect to describe your reception on the invitation.  Put your details on your wedding website.

    Just clarifying.....everyone invited to the "dinner" is invited to the "dance", right?

    Agree w/ PPs, reception to follow.  That will cover the meal and the dancing.
  • Like others have said the word "dinner" simply means you are serving a meal which you are definitely doing.  Stick to "reception to follow".
