We also paid to extend our wedding an extra hour. Ours is Ceremony 6:30-7:00, Cocktails 7:00-8:00, Reception 8:00-1:00. I am not worried about getting the word out to guests. People will just see that the party is still going and enjoy the extra hour of open bar and dancing to the band. Asside from the older people I am not worried about anyone leaving early.
