I'm leaning towards light food.
A lot of people say that they want to get full when they eat, but I could use all opinions

Finger sandwiches and fresh cut-up veggies and fruit and all the fixin's of a real nice salad bar---like healthy type eating--- as well as mixed drinks, non alcholic diet drinks, and punch for the kids and senior crowd........What time of the day says what foods and will also set the mood.....the time from church to reception may only be ten or fifteen minutes..but, you clear the church and start the picture taking with two families and that's turned into one hour plus that your guests are respectfully waiting and (NOT eating ) are standing in line for your arrival at the reception------- so yes they need to be fed .........Wally

I can't recommend any specific foods but think you should consider what kind of people invited. Are they mostly vegeterians, Jewish (don't eat seafood), Muslim (don't eat pork and seafood), weigh-watchers, ill.....? The safe bets are chicken, Alaska salmon and salad varieties. Also, will people spend most the time on the dance floor? In that case, fingerfood. Or they prefer a sit-down formal dinner? And don't forget the cost. Good luck!
PS. Maybe you should just order dozens of large pizzas and a few kegs of beer.

chicken, salmon and steak are always good options... almost everyone likes one of these. Make sure that you include a vegetarian option as well. When I was married, we did a buffet, with turkey, roast beef, california blend veggies, mashed potatoes, green beans, and of course a salad. We recently went to a wedding with family style serving and it was really nice- I wish that is what we would have done instead- everyone still got to choose what they wanted but they didn't have to get up to go stand in line.

Don't impose your personal eating preferences on your guests. Have really nice food, heavy and light, and let your guests choose how they want to feel after dinner.

I guess it depends on what your family likes. My brother had a buffett and many different kinds, such as roast beef and steak and some other lighter foods.
