My cocktail hour starts at 6:30pm, i'm very tempted to put on the invitation 6:00pm because I know so many people will be late. Is anyone doing the same? Do you think the hall would mind if guests are showing up at 6:00?
I think you should keep it 6:30. The cocktail hour gives people that hour to arrive.
I am doing that...ceremony (at hall) starts at 7:00, invitation says 6:30, they serve champagne and strawberries to the guests as they wait.
It depends on how early they arrive. If they start showing up at 5:30 that might be a problem - unless your hall has a place for them to wait - such as a bar. If they show up at 6 though I think that should be fine. I'm sure the hall is well prepared for people to start arriving at that time.

I would put the actual time b/c there are those people that will show up at 5:58 and then what do they do...
