Are you planning on doing a receiving line or did you do one at your wedding??
Hec, I have already told photogs who we are interviewing that we want someone who is quick and precise so they better be Johnny on the spot! Still wish Groomzilla would do the first look pics but he is not budging on that one.
Read receiving line etiquette tips on the knot.
I'd love to hear from you. Email questions, comments, or photos to blogzillabride@gmail.com

I'm a yay for the receiving line. We are inviting 250 people (maybe plus - not all our idea). We will have one out of church. I CANNOT stand talking to people while they eat and we stand there gawking at them thanking them for coming. Since many of the people coming are traditionalist and some older - they expect a thank you from the bride and groom - so to knock it out, we'll be doing one. And attending the cocktail hour to catch any of the ones we missed there!
Remember - it's YOUR day!!! :-)
we didn't do a receiving line, for the same reason! we just stopped by all the tables during dinner instead.
i went to a wedding in october, and they did a receiving line leaving the church. i didn't like it at all. it took forever to get out of the church, and the couple didn't go around at the reception at all because they had done it at the church. not how i would do it, but it's all what you want!
If you only have one hour to take picures and do a recieving line...I vote pictures !!
yay for us, sort of. but I don't think it will be at the church. We might actually just visit all the tables. I'll be figuring it out when I write our timeline.
We opted to not do a receiving line, and instead we "dimissed" our guests from their seats in the church. That way, people could sit while they waited to say hi or congratulate us, or whatever. And then once we said hi, we sent them on their way to cocktail hour. I think it went a lot faster than a traditional receiving line, plus then our guests didn't have to awkwardly try to introduce themselves to our parents (which, as a wedding guest, I've always hated!).
