Dinner and reception from 7-10 pm.

Dear Lindaka,
If your wedding is very informal, then this would work. But, it appears to be an agenda. So, it is best to use the usual format and include the information about cocktails on an enclosure.
You don't need to tell them what type of reception it is, only what time it will begin and where.
