Thanks guys! My dad said I needed it on there b/c some people don't feel they need to go to cocktail hour, but I didn't know how to word it otherwise...

Yeah, only put the cocktail hour time but write it as the whole event start time, don't distinguish between the two. So if you're CH starts at 6 pm, put Reception at 6 PM, or however you word it and that's it.

I copied yours...but my dad said how he wants cocktail hour and I like the adult reception thing so everyone knows no kids...but is it necessary? I liked how you did it.

If i did do both would it be
Cocktail hour at 6 O'clock in the evening
Adult reception to follow

Put reception....or the way minibride did it is great also. Just don't put cocktail 'hour'. The reception card is to tell people what time the whole entire party starts, and the CH is part of the party. As far as the kids, if you didn't invite the kids (meaning you only put Mr. and Mrs. on the invitations), then ppl should not assume that their kids are invited. If you get RSVPs back and ppl add their kids then you or your parents call them and politely tell them that the party is for the invitees (adults) only.

i agree with this. I was torn whether to do 'adult reception' but i don't love the way it sounds.

i'm not doing a reception card since our ceremony is at the same place - i'm just putting reception immediately following

I put it bc i thought it was necessary. Even tho my invites say mr and mrs, I do have ppl who are traveling and might assume its ok to bring their kids bc they are traveling, but my list exploded to waaaaaaay over my max... I also know my family and ive read too many horror stories about other brides receiving their rsvps and having to make phone calls.

lol wait im confused

my ceremony is at 3pm....

I put adult reception at 7pm.....

so ppl know that that's the time to arrive at the RH for coctail hour??

I think I am wording mine something to the effect:
Cocktails at 5pm followed by an evening of dinner and dancing

Yes. You already have it right on yours, from what it reads in your other post.
