Weddingbee boards
I mostly agree, although I tend to feel like wedding etiquette mavens make everything sound too easy... Visiting every table for "just" 5-10 minutes will take up to 2 hours if you have 12 tables, for instance, and that may or may not be viable. And I hate to think of the fallout when that couple tells their parents' friends that they aren't invited to the wedding, even though they're hosting an engagement party! But she makes it sound like if they just explain nicely, it'll be fine. One of the things I like about Weddingbee is that the hive knows that there aren't always easy answers, and sometimes there's nothing you can do about offending people!
@worcesterbride That is exactly why we are doing a small destination wedding. We didn't want to spend the entire reception walking from table to talbe. By have only 40 guests (no seating chart, gasp!) we can spend the night having fun with everyone :)
I did mostly agree with these comments. We didn't do a receiving line but visited all of the tables. Granted we had a smaller wedding (86 guests), but I found that a lot easier than dealing with a receiving line.
We also visited all the tables. We had close to 200 guests and I'm not gonna lie, I kind of wish we didn't do it. The plan was for our photographer to be there with us so we could take pictures with each table, too, but they FAILED on that one! So, since we didn't get pictures, and it ate up ALL of our time, I probably wouldn't do it. Shoot, we didn't have time to dance besides for our money dance and first dance, and I didn't even get to wander over to the bar to get myself a drink the whole night! It could work if you have a longer reception time, but when you only have a certain number of hours, it's pretty hard to do and also enjoy all the festivities. It makes me wish we could have used the reception to just party and have an after party to mingle with whoever cared to come and mingle with us.
