Reception food

I'm having my reception from around 11am-3pm... Is it fine to have like a "sweet and salty" theme? Lots of baked goods! Doing that in place of a sit down meal...

11-3 is lunch time.  You really need more food than sweets and salt.

I think you need a little more.  People may not have time for breakfast so they willl come hungry.  I would think about serving a light lunch.

i'd agree.  if anyone has any allergy or restrictions about baked goods (or just don't want to fill up on sugary things), they'll want something else.

Perhaps a soup and salad bar, or some other type of lunch/brunch?

11-3 is lunch time, people should have lunch...

Oh please serve something besides sweets!  My mother was at a wedding last week... 7pm ceremony then just a dessert bar.  No fruit, no veggies, sandwiches etc.  My mom has diabetes so couldn't eat a thing.... she was really disappointed.  As others have mentioned you're hosting you wedding over lunch time.  11-3 is a LONG time to go without any real food.   People will come expecting a light meal at least.  You don't need to do a formal sit down meal, but you could have passed appetizers... or a table with little sandwiches, veggies, fruit, pasta salad etc and then have your sweet and salty table

no. sweets are not enough (and not getting the 'sweet and salty' theme thing) and it's lunchtime so you need to serve a meal.

You could do heavy apps & tea sandwiches along with the sweets if you want to avoid a meal.
