Receiving line
The receiving line is a traditional way for a newly married couple and their parents to greet guests. The receiving line typically takes place after the wedding ceremony or at the beginning of the reception.

Who Stands In The Receiving Line
- The newly married couple
- Parents of the couple
- Bridesmaids (Optional)
Alternatives
- Table Visits - Instead of a receiving line, the newly married couple may opt to visit each table individually. This typically takes longer than a receiving line so the number of guests and length of the reception should be taken into consideration.
- Cocktail Hour - A couple may also choose to do a receiving line during the cocktail hour so guests can mingle and enjoy snacks and beverages as they wait.
