Wedding etiquette can be a very complex
issue! Where do you seat step-parents? How do you honor a loved one? How do you insure you greet all your guests? Well, as for the last question, have you considered a receiving line? A receiving line could be the answer if you consider these tips:
·Consider how well you know your guests. Many brides and grooms have long guests lists that include distant family, old acquaintances, and friends of parents. If you don't know all of your guests well enough to have an in-depth conversation with them, having a receiving line is a very polite way of allowing your guests to congratulate you. It is also a great way to meet the guests whom you haven’t met yet!
· In general, if you have more than 100 guests, seriously consider a receiving line. Some people would advise you to simply pass by each guest’s table and say, “hello” if you have a lot of guests. However, the easiest way to deal with this remains having a receiving line. Instead of having to make the rounds all evening, the guests come to you!
· Make sure you know who really has to be in the receiving line and who doesn’t. For instance, you may want to include your mom and dad in the receiving line, particularly if several guests are friends of theirs, and/or they are hosting the wedding. But you probably don't need to include bridesmaids and groomsmen. Instead let them mingle among the guests and make sure the event is flowing smoothly.
