We're getting married at 2pm and figure guests will be at the reception site between 3:00 - 3:30pm and they will start with a 1 - 1 1/2 hour cocktail party. Once our pictures are done and the bridal party enters, the regular reception begins. During the cocktail hour there will be a lot of passed foods, about 12 pieces per person, and now I don't know what to do about a meal. We want to keep it traditional, but is a sit down dinner at 4pm or 4:30 too much? I keep thinking its going to look tacky or cheap if one is not provided, but I would hate to have a lot of food go to waste. Any suggestions? Is anyone else dealing with the same issue that could offer help? I am open to any and all ideas!

I was also concerned about food going to waste, but I think that people will expect a meal (at least my family will, given how past events have been) and since it's a Sunday, people may be eating a heavier, later brunch anyway so it'll be a more natural lunch time. I am thinking about putting a note on our wedding website that we are serving a full meal (in nicer wording), but I am leaning away from doing so at the moment.
