Aaaaaaaaaahh... I so don't know what to do anymore about the cocktail hour!!!! I'm expecting the ceremony|toast|group pictures to last from 4PM to 5:30PM... that would leave about 1 hour for the cocktail hour (if you add transportation and make sure everyone is set and ready for the reception at 7PM). I agree it doesn't leave a lot of time and that people could do whatever they want... but I feel that if we don't have a set schedule, people will just go back to their rooms, do their own thing and won't be at the reception for 7PM... our reception is going to be tight and we have a lot to do within 4 hours. I just don't know if the cocktail is worth the money, but I do want something planned to entertain our guests while we take our pictures....
