lite refreshments or light refreshments?
It is a common misnomer, and I have seen it written as "lite" refreshment. This is an extremely informal way, and it is also extremely incorrect. Lite is; an informal, simplified spelling of light 2 , used esp. in labeling, naming, or advertising commercial products.
That being stated, the literary correct usage is "Light refreshments"
