For those whose cocktail hours were NOT following the ceremony

How did you word it on the reception card?

My church is 2:30, my cocktail is at 7pm

How do you word this nicely??

'Cocktail hour to begin at Seven o'clock in the evening... bla bla'

I want to be careful with the wording because the cocktail doesnt immediately follow the ceremony. I want to make that clear that its not until 7, but im having a tough time wording it properly.
