Hi Everyone, Shafonne here with another Ask Our Wedding Planner question. This week’s question is one that comes up in conversation quite often:
Q - what to do about the receiving line?
The Receiving Line - Receiving lines have always been a much-debated addition to ceremonies, which can prove to be very useful. Whenever people come to your wedding you want to make sure that they feel important. Receiving lines give guests the pleasure of physically congratulating you and your family without feeling like they are intruding while you are trying to enjoy yourself at the reception.
The order of receiving lines is as follows: Mother of the Bride, Father of the Bride (optional), Bride, Groom, Mother of the Groom, Father of the Groom (optional), Bridesmaids and Groomsman (both are optional). There are numerous variations as to the order, including no men, along with no bridesmaids.
Happy Planning,
Shafonne Myers - Making Your Event Special

Yes, that’s certainly one of those options that is going to be completely dependent on your individual needs. I’d venture to guess that even some proud pet parents include their pooch! Hmm… do you teach them to shakes hands for that too?
