Hi all - I got my invitations today and they are absolutely beautiful and I am thrilled! One small problem - On the reception cards, I had them put 'Reception to follow at JA's on the water etc at 12:30 in the afternoon' (the cocktail hour is at 12:30 and the reception is at 1:30 - I needed to save space and figured kill two birds with one stone and tell them the whole shebang starts at 12:30) FH goes 'What?!? You didn't tell them that the cocktail was at 12:30 and the reception was at 1:30?!' People will think the cocktail is at 11:30 now and will get there too early!' Mind you - my invitations state that we are having a mass at 11:00 am (and dont get me started on people who blow off the religious part and only show up for the party) so I figured once they see that they will understand cocktail is at 12:30. Should I reprint them?

Re: Help -Reception Cards
Personally, I think it's fine. I would just assume that the party (including the cocktail hour) will begin at 12:30, since the ceremony is at 11am. How much is it to reprint them? I wouldn't spend the $ to do it over, but if your FH feels strongly about it and it's not that expensive, then maybe you should re do them.
By the way, Congrats on your addicted status!!

People would know that the cocktail hour starts at 12:30. Your okay with the above wording.

I think people would think it starts at 12:30, so it is fine. They should know the cocktail hour is the first part of the reception.

You could definitely leave them the way they are.
