Just wondering if you girls are doing one after the church or if married already did you do one??
We are just having the cermony and not the full mass?

We are not having a mass or receiving line. There is no time. I will walk around at the reception and say hi! I have been to weddigns where they dont do them!

We didn't have one because there wasn't a lot of time in between. We had our deacon announce we weren't going to have one.

We are going to have a full mass and we are going to do a receiving line.

We had a full mass too.... We had a * mini * receiving line... Just DH & I. I had our DOC make sure to get everyone out in front of the church pretty quickly b/c we needed all the time in between ceremony & reception for pics. It went really fast. I think if you have one- just limit the # of people.....

I think this a good idea! I am afraid to waste too much time b/c we need time for pics!

I'm just doing a ceremony, and I'm having a receiving line, but not for the whole bridal party, just FH & I and our parents.

We are having a mini receiving line, FH, Me and parents of the bride and groom. We are also just having a ceremony.

Re: Receiving line??

Good question - we are gettign married at the RH - I do not think we are having a receiving line - we'll pop around to see everyone at the cocktail hour and reception.

Re: Receiving line??

I always thought a receiving line always only included bride, groom and parents... other people are sometimes part of it? like bridal party??

learn something new everyday!

Re: Receiving line??

I don't think we'll have time, our ceremony is at the hall and the cockkkkk-tail hour is right after the ceremony. I think they are nice though. I want one! Ha ha!

Re: Receiving line??

we are doing just a ceremony, not a full mass, and we have lots of time between the ceremony and reception but we dont have a lot of time to be at the church and i want to do formal picts there, so idk about the receiving line, if we do it will be small just FH and i cuz both out parents are divorced and then the line will be tooo long.

sorry i dont think i helped

Re: Receiving line??

we got married at our hall so we just went to all the tables and made sure to takl to everyone.

IMHO, as a guest at a large wedding, I dread a recieving line. If its a small wedding, under 100 people, i dont care, but otherwise I feel like they take forever- at least at the weddings I have been to that have them.

Mrs Gina.... that is exactly what I am worried about. We should have about 200 people at the wedding so maybe 85 people or so at the church, I fee like this could take forever!
