frequently asked questions for planning a wedding.
Wedding Reception LinesIn keeping with generally accepted rules of etiquette,
there should be at least one usher to greet guests. One may in fact act as a doorman
opening the door as each guest enters or leaves. Another may greet guests announcing
them to the first person in the receiving line.
The wedding party (or
line) traditionally begins with the bride's parents who, in most cases, are the
hosts. They are followed by the groom's parents, the best man, the groom, the
bride, and finally, the bride's maids.
The wedding party generally should
stay in a single location easily accessible to arriving guests. This courtesy
should be shown due to the fact that guests have made the effort to attend, many
have traveled, and most have likely brought a gift. Even in an informal reception
setting, the members of the wedding party should assure that each wedding guest
is personally greeted.
If keeping with tradition, the bride's family sponsors
and hosts the reception. Members of the the groom's family are invited guests.
They should be careful not to invite a greater number of guests than that of the
bride's family. Where this is a necessity, the groom's family should offer to
pay for any additional costs incurred in printing, mailing and catering charges.
