Wedding Receiving Line Etiquette Tips

Posted on 2011-06-14 14:38:13, by Kelly Miller in Relationships → Weddings

What is proper wedding receiving line etiquette? When I meet with couples for a pre-wedding consultation, I am constantly surprised at how many do not know what a receiving line is. Or if they do, they cringe at the thought. It is understandably not the most enjoyable part of the day - standing in one spot while hundred's of people file by to offer their congratulations - uggh!  However, unless you have a small wedding - 50-75 guests or less - I would recommend doing a receiving line. Your guests honor you by attending your wedding. The receiving line is possibly the only time when you will be able to personally thank each guest for attending. Even though the receiving line can take 20-40 minutes (depending on how many guests you have), ... Read More

What surprises me most however, is that many couples do not even know what I'm referring to. "Do we need to do one?", they ask. Wedding receiving lines used to be a very common wedding tradition. However, in today's wedding world where just about anything can go, couples wonder as to the necessity of a receiving line. If you choose not to do a receiving line, plan on going table to table at the reception to ... Read More
