Reception opinion

  I know I am probably trying to get everything for my wedding to soon (it's over a year away) but I have a question. I am getting married at 2p.m. and our ceremony will only be about thirty mins long. Since it isn't like a breakfast,brunch,lunch,and dinner time I thought finger foods would be a good idea. Like small sandwhiches and veggie and fruit plates. Any opinions?

    Yes ma'am it won't be more than an hour. I am not having alcohol or anything and it isn't like a big party so no more than a half hour tops

    Unless you are having a wedding at lunch time or dinner time, there is no need for a sit down dinner.  Cake and punch or appetizers would be fine.

    My ceremony starts at 1:00 with the reception starting around 1:30ish. I'm doing appetizers in my reception. So, you should be just fine.

    I think what you have on mid to serve is fine. It is YOUR wedding, not your sisters and unless she's offering help to fit the bill for feeding your guests a sit down meal, you get to choose.

    We went to a wedding a few years ago at 2:00.  Not expecting much food, a large group of us that were going went out to lunch together before the ceremony.  We were sad when we got to the reception and found that there was a full meal.  Our plates went to waste.  

    Most people won't expect a full meal at that time of day.  If you want to be clear or think people will be confused, you can always let people know that it will be a "cake & punch" or "light appetizer" event.
