I think I like the wording of number 1 better.

My sister also had a cocktail reception for her wedding, and I believe they did something similar to #1. I don't know why, but for some reason, to me, it sounds more a little more formal than cocktails and dancing. That is JMO though.

I like the way 2 sounds better, but I also think one seems more formal. You aren't doing a traditional sit down as well right? If you are then you have many other ways of going.
