Agreed. My schedule is exactly the same as yours (ceremony at 5:30, cocktail hour at 6, reception at 7) and I didn't indicate AM or PM on my invitation. I didn't feel it was necessary, and I had a professional stationer helping me with the wording of my invitations, so I trust her judgment.
Clear liquids, including water, clear tea, black coffee, carbonated beverages and fruit juice without pulp, up to two hours before surgery. Very light meals, like toast and tea with milk, up to six hours before surgery. Heavy meals, including fried or fatty foods and meat, up to eight hours before surgery.
After 24 hours add more solid foods such as pancakes, eggs, mashed potatoes, soft pasta, anything you can cut easily with a fork, to your diet. It is best to avoid crunchy, hard foods like popcorn, nuts and chips for one week following surgery.
