I've had a few people look over my invite but no one that has done their own invitations before so I would love some fellow bride's oppions.

 AS THEY EXCHANGE THEIR VOWS

ON SATURDAY, JULY 28, 2012
AT 1:30 IN THE AFTERNOON

VENUE
ADDRESS
KAMLOOPS, BC

COCKTAIL HOUR TO BEGIN
AT 5:30 IN THE EVENING

FOLLOWED BY A DINNER RECEPTION
SAME VENUE AS ABOVE

I am having a little trouble with how to let people know that the ceremony and reception are in the same location, but the ceremony is at 1:30 and cocktails to start at 5:30 followed by dinner. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thank you!

Is there a reason for the large gap when the location is the same? Are guests able to stay on property during that gap? I've heard of gaps because of church weddings, but never one where the ceremony and reception are in the same location.

Your invite is really wordy. Also, I'm assuming you have everything in caps because it's an all caps font, but I changed it so you could see what should be capitalized if you change fonts. Sorry, the font sizing is a little off for some reason - ignore that! This is what I'd say:
