  I agree with ILoveMilkDuds that something extra would be nice.

  Please do try to provide some protein, even just cheese and crackers.  Also, make sure you have water as well!  The cake and punch portion of SBIL's reception only had two types of sicky-sweet punch and the cake, so by the end of it I was light-headed and slightly nauseous from having nothing but sugar, and when we got to SMIL's house, I nearly bowled DH over to get to the fridge for some lunch meat.

  This is a neglected planning bio.

  Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

  Ice water, veggies, and cheese and crackers would be a great addition without breaking the bank.  Sounds nice!

  Sounds like you have it worked out just fine!
  
  When I was growing up, all the weddings we ever went to were cake and punch type receptions.  Very simple and nice. 
  
  Having ice water is a good idea.  We are having a 2pm ceremony and at our reception we will be serving coffee, tea, sodas, lemonade, ice water, finger foods, cheese/crackers, fruit trays, mints, nuts, and of course cake!

  I would add water and some cheese and crackers like pp's have said before.  Not that you have to cater to absolutely every single individual, but what if someone doesn't like nuts or is allergic?  That leaves them with mints......A simple cheese tray would be great!
  
  Otherwise, what you're planning is very appropriate!
