    So my FI and I are just having beer and wine at the reception. What do we call the cocktail hour if there are technically no cocktails?  He jokes we should call it pregaming.

    You could just say cocktails anyway; that is what we did. Or you could just say something about having refreshments.

    Since we are going with a theatre theme, we are calling ours the "intermission" between act 1 (the ceremony) and act 2 (the reception)

    @destiny1120: I really like happy hour, that's really cute and different! Cocktail hour doesn't describe the drink, though, it's just the name for a social mix and mingle.

    Our venue kept referring to it as "Social Hour" - I kept correcting them saying: No, COCKTAIL hour!!  (I was really passionate about our drinks! - ha!)

    I wondered the same thing. We are having soda and thought our drinking friends would be devastated by a fake cocktail hour. I like the social hour idea.

    Intermission or Happy Hour are good suggestions. I'm having the same for my wedding and so far we're just going to call it Mingling Hour. x
