I am finalizing my invitations online and am stuck on how to word the reception card.  Our cocktail hour starts at 5:30 and the dinner reception starts at 6:30.  I definintely want to put the 5:30 part on the card.  I know I need to put the place and address also.  Any suggestions on how to word this?

    I did a separate reception card and said this:

    Please join us for cocktails, dinner and dancing at half after four in the afternoon.

    I think the wording depends on the formality of your event... if you want to keep things casual, write the numeric time (i.e. 5:30pm). If you are having a more formal event spell out the numbers (i.e. half after five o'clock in the evening).
