Having A Coacktail/Desert Only Reception. Any Tips?
I think that 8 o’clock for a start time would be a good idea for an cocktail/dessert reception. Just make sure you put something on your invitations that eludes to the fact that you will not be providing a full meal. You can put something on the reception cards/invitations that say something like this: *Cocktail and Dessert Reception to follow As for the food, I think that all you are thinking of is great – but you might want to add in a few non-sweet items just in case people aren’t fans of sweets or have diabetes, special diets, etc. You can do all the desserts, but maybe you can have some cheese and crackers, veggie tray, mini sandwiches, etc. Just give people a variety to choose from and I think that it will be fine.
