Receiving Line or Not?
Tip: Should I or shouldn't I??
Are you worried this can eat into your Reception time?
Well, not to worry; we have choices...
You can actually keep the receiving line short and sweet--just you and hubby. By excusing all other family and wedding-party members, guests will be able to work the line more quickly.
And there are more options...
You and your husband could re-enter the ceremony site immediately afterward and personally release each pew or row of guests. This provides a great opportunity to quickly greet everyone before the reception starts.
You might also join arms with your spouse at the reception and pop by each table for a quick hello. For an extra personal touch, hand-deliver your favors as you make your rounds--it's a perfect way to catch everyone. Just make sure to keep moving and not get held up at one table for too long. Otherwise, your reception will turn into one long receiving line, the exact thing you were trying to avoid.
It is fun when you can think about which option will work best for you.
Make it the right thing for you and hubby and it will make your event just the way it should be for you!!
And most of all, have fun and stay organized!
