i'm thinking i only want to have FH and i (no parents or bp) do our RL since we're having a lot of guests and our time frame is very close.
ceremony (full catholic mass)- starts at 4 (greenlawn)
CH- starts 6:30 at woodbury cc

FH and i want to have time to get to the rh take pics and then have 15-30 mins of alone time in the bridal suite to eat some food from the ch.

i would keep your parents.. the bp doesnt have to be part of the receiving line..

do you think all 150 guests will come to the church?? if yes, then you may be cutting it close... because after that you'll be taking pictures outside the church as well so you'll need time to do that too..

I am having the same issue - I think you should do a receiving line with just you and FH (that is what we are doing) - My MOH will be near by in case anyone gives me a card or something I can pass to her....

Our ceremony started at 3:00 and the CH at 5:00. We didnt have enough time for a receiving line. We actually had to cut our pictures short because we were late even without the receiving line!

It seems like you will be cutting it kind of close.

We also have a very tight time line, in fact FH and I will probably miss the cocktail hour. We are having the parents and us in the receiving line only.
