Recieving line?

Recieving line?

If you are getting married at a Church, are you having one? I hate them but think I might have to do one anyway

Re: Recieving line?

I hate it and want nothing to do with it....and my parents agree.

Re: Recieving line?

Im not having one bc im afraid we wont have enough time for pics afterwards. Im getting on a friday and my church is at 4:00 and CH starts at 7:00 but im worried about traffic going from Malverne to Babylon on a friday evening.

Re: Recieving line?

I really don't want one and don't think there will be time... so hopefully not BUT we haven't run this idea passed our parents yet, sooooooo we might end up having one. Ugh!

Re: Recieving line?

I'm doing one. I want to thank everyone that took the time to come see the actual ceremony

Re: Recieving line?

we are not doing one. my sister had at her wedding the priest announce at the end of the ceremony that the bride and groom will not be having a receiving line and would like to meet and thank everyone on the dancefloor at the RH. It was the best thing they could have done and i am copying her and having our priest do the same announcement.

Re: Recieving line?

I would love not to do one, but don't think I'll be able to get out of it.

That is an awesome idea!!

Still debating if were having one.. I might do this bc it saves time & I will probably itching to get to the RH to go celebrate!

Re: Recieving line?

Absolutely NOT! I don't care about tradition I care more about my pictures. I will thank everyone at the reception. There is not 1 person who is not coming to the reception hall who isn't at the church. My pictures will last forever and I will be upset if I don't take enough

Re: Recieving line?

I'm putting somewhere in the program that everyone is to meet outside immediately after the ceremony for pictures,

i'm gonna ask my DOC if she can get people motivated for a group shot, then we are being whisked away for pictures at the Chelsea mansion.

I'm not expecting anyone at the ceremony, who wont be at the wedding later that night, my wedding is small enough I will be able to greet everyone there

Re: Recieving line?

i think we're having one but i really don't want to it takes time away from my CH

Re: Recieving line?

Re: Recieving line?

if you dont do a receiving line- do they still do the rice/rose petal throwing? this receiving line confuses me!!

Re: Recieving line?

we are getting married at our RH so I never even thought of having one...

until reazlied i that i don't want to have to spend half of my reception and all of my CH walking around to people and their tables to say hi and thank you and blah blah blah

so we are going to see if there is anyway we can be put somewhere in between the ceremony room and the CH room for people to pass us like a 'faux' receiving line

just an idea right now but i definitely think it will be worth it to get that over with bc I WANNA HAVE FUN!!!!
