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 forgo the receiving line. If this is the case,
you must make sure that you say a few words of thanks at the
reception. |
