I have a couple of questions.  Would you all  mind sharing what you have planned for the cocktail if you are having one and what is on your menu for the reception?  Also would you share the amount that you will be paying per person.  Thanks a bunch ladies.

    I'm having a cocktail reception with 5-6 different cold hors d'oeuvres, wedding cake and champagne. We are having dinner later and will serve more cake then. Oh, the cocktail reception is $15/person and the dinner is free (we're staying at an all-inclusive resort).

    My reception is at a hotel.  It is a 1 hr cocktail w a 4 hr reception.  It is $85 per person, non alcoholic.  The difference was only $5 per person to remove alcohol.

    We get 5 hor d'oeuvres, cheese, fruit, and dip for the cocktail hour.

    For dinner- salad with a choice of chicken, fish, or beef.  We also have a pasta station.

    And then the wedding cake!
