Oh good question, I hadn't thought of this. When I hear "cocktail hour" I don't actually think of hard-liquor drinks, I think of general boozing and socializing. I don't think it won't be the end of the world if you said "cocktails" and then didn't have hard liquor. Alternately, you could just put "Please join us for dinner and dancing". I think people usually expect some kind of socializing before dinner is acutally served. Good luck!
is there still appetizers? like food for the cocktail hour? i would still call it a cocktail hour then. But like polkadot said, people will prob assume there is something beforehand, so as long as they know when to show up thats all that matters! id prob go with what she said about dinner and dancing.
I think you're okay using "cocktail hour," but if you're worried that guests will be disappointed you could always substitue "libations."
That way people will know you've got alcohol on offer, but not necessarily liquor.
yes, we're planning on having passed hor d'ourves. thank you for the input!

I'm working on the wording for all the inserts for my pocketfold invites, and I am a little stuck. I like this wording for the reception card:
Celebrate!
Please join us for cocktails, follwed by
dinner and dancing
at four o’clock in the afternoon
Location Name
Address
HOWEVER, we are not having cocktails! We are only allowed to serve beer, wine and champagne. What is a cocktail hour called when it's just beer and wine?
