Receiving Line |
|
The receiving line is a great way to formally greet all your
guests. It is also a sure way that you will be able to speak
with each guest. The receiving line can be done directly after
the ceremony or at the beginning of the reception. |
| |
If you decide to do the receiving line after the ceremony,
you can have it right outside the ceremony site's doors. Such
as in the hallway, vestibule or even outside. If you are holding
the receiving line at the beginning of the reception, you can
have it right before your guests enter the reception site doors,
in the lounge or in the lobby. |
|
Traditionally, the bride's parents will line up first in the
receiving line. They will be the first to greet the guests.
The bride and groom will stand next to them in line. Followed
by the groom's parents. If you would like to include your attendants,
they will follow the groom's parents in line.

|
Not sure what to say? You can start by introducing your guests
to your parents if they haven't met yet. Then make sure that
you thank them for coming. |
|
You may choose to forego the receiving line. If this is the
case, you must make sure that you say a few words of thanks
at the reception. |
