How to prepare guests for hors'deuvers and not dinner?

What should I say on my invites to prepare guests for passed plates, heavy hors'deuvers and not a sit-down, meat n' potatoes meal? My invites allow very little room for explanation... "Reception following" seems misleading for the hungrier guests, but "Cocktails & Heavy Hors'deuvers Following" is a lot to say!

Thoughts?

6:30-7pm ceremony, cocktail hour, then drinks, food and dancing til midnight.

I also realize I am butchering the spelling of hors'deuvers... sorry.

    This. Plus your ceremony is late enough that some people will have already had dinner anyway.
