Is it mandatory to specifically mention that you're having a cocktail hour, and the time it starts, in a wedding invitation?
The time the cocktail hour starts is the time the reception starts. You don't have to specify that the first part of the reception is the cocktail hour; most people know that already. Also, if you put something like "cocktail hour at 4:30" then folks are going to know that the dinner isn't until 5:30. Some of them will show up as close to 5:30 as possible, and they'll end up being late and walking in during dinner. That cocktail hour is really time to make sure that the stragglers still arrive on time for the dinner.

Does anyone have any suggestions for smart or sophisticated drinks to bring to the party? I know there will be a lot of hip/sophisticated people there and I don't want to look like a redneck or something.
Try some of the flavored martini mixers. I had some and it was fabulous. Make sure to read the bottle to make sure it calls for a common liquor to mix it with. And they come in such cool looking bottles, they are sure to be a hit!

Does that mean that you have to pay for your own drinks?
Regardless of whether it is an open bar or cash bar...it means that drinks will be available at 8pm and onwards.

The man being recognized is quite important in the region.
It means the ladies are in cocktail dresses and the men are in suits, white shirts, and ties.

Cocktail Hour with Bill and Dave – Bookmarks - Wilmington Star ...
I was all excited when I opened my e-mail the other day and found an invitation to Bill and Dave’s Cocktail Hour: http://www.billanddavescocktailhour.com/ .
Alas, it wasn’t an invitation to a really cool party, non even B.Y.O. What it is, is a new duo Web site involving two writer-buddies, David Gessner of the University of North Carolina Wilmington and Bill Roorbach of Somewhere in the Maine Woods, Not Far from Stephen King. (Check out cool effects on Roorbach’s video memoir, “I Used to Play in Bands.”
For those who came in late (as The Phantom used to say) Gessner is a nature writer, a Harvard grad and a part-time resident of Cape Cod. He’s an associate professor of creative writing at UNCW and founder of its literary journal Ecotone. His books include “Sick of Nature,” “Return of the Osprey,” “The Prophet of Dry Hill” and “Soaring With Fidel” (about tracking the osprey’s annual migration from New England to Cuba and South America.) For more about him, visit http://www.davidgessner.com/ .
