     How to list times of wedding events on the invitation  

We are having cocktails and snacks before the wedding. Is it appropriate to say on the invitation:

Drinks poolside from 5:30-6:30 pm

(please plan to arrive by 6:15 pm)

Ceremony at 6:30 pm

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.

Best wishes,
