Is it necessary to have a cocktail hour? We are trying to cut our costs and so we are having our ceremony and reception at the same place. After the ceremony, we are going to be taking some pictures, as we will not be doing a first look, so I figured that would take about an hour. We were planning on opening up the bar at that time for the guests. By not having passed canapes, we will be saving about $500. Thoughts? Any input is appreciated!
