  As long as there are non-alcoholic beverages available at the bar, I don't think you need punch.

  I agree with Peavy. I also think you should have an alternative to coffee with dessert. Maybe tea or hot chocolate.
  
  If there will be kids, I'd make sure juice is available throughout the reception.
  
  Also, it's considered bad luck to toast with water. So whenever the toasting is, there should be something besides water, alcohol, or coffee available for toasting by those who don't drink alcohol or coffee. Iced tea is a common option.

  I don't think you need punch as long as you have non-alcoholic options.  It can be nice to offer a non-soda option, though, but that can be iced tea, lemonade, juice, or punch. 
  

  
  

  Are you having poured wine during dinner?  I think that's a nice touch, because people don't have to get up if they need a refill or want to switch to wine for the meal.

  thanks all.  I think i'll tell the bartender to add juices to our mixer list to cover everything, and i'll have the coffee out before hand too.
  
  for the question of poured wine.  We're not having poured wine, but we are having wine at each place setting.  We bottled our own, and have 1/4 sized bottles as one of the favors.  We're having wine glasses and bottle openers available
