The receiving line

The receiving line is both courteous and practical and a great way to ensure you see everyone. Time between the welcome drinks, reception and the wedding breakfast itself should be allowed for this purpose.

Normally when the bride’s parents have sent out the invitations, they can be regarded as the hosts and should be first in line to receive the guests. Next in line can be the groom’s parents followed by the groom, bride, chief bridesmaid and best man.

The receiving line can be arranged to suit the bridal party as required, particularly when circumstances dictate otherwise.
