We plan a 7pm wedding and 8pm reception. Would most people expect to have a full meal for a reception that started at 8pm? Or would it be okay to have lots of finger foods (some hot and some cold)?

Re: [featherchickie] Reception--Finger food vs. Buffet Dinner
[In reply to]
Dear Featherchickie,
In most regions, this would mean finger food. But, if you are in a region where late dinners are common, then a dinner may be expected. Plus, consider the guests who may have to travel a while and may not have time to eat dinner beforehand.
It is best to have plenty of finger foods on hand.
