Cocktail Hour Wording for Reception Card

I'm trying to finalize invitation wording.
The top of the reception card states Dinner and Dancing to follow
The middle has the name and address of the venue
At the bottom, we have Cocktails begin at five o'clock in the afternoon

The wording of the cocktails line doesn't seem right. Any thoughts?

    You don't need to include information about cocktail hour.  When your guests arrive and they see apps and drinks they will conclude that what a cocktail hour is going on.

    Your reception card should read something like this...

    Reception
    immediately following the ceremony
    Name of venue
    Address of venue

    Your cocktail hour is a part of your reception so to separate them doesn't make sense.

    What Maggie said.  Your reception begins at 5pm.  You don't need to split it up that cocktails are 5pm, dinner at 6, etc.  People don't expect dinner immediately upon arrival.
