Starting to feel overwhelmed with how many people you’ve invited to your big day? We all feel the pressure to make sure that every guest feels special and welcome at the wedding reception. But this can be tough when you’re the VIP attendees and everyone wants to see YOU. If you’re worried about having enough time to greet all your guests individually at your wedding reception, here are two easy ways to make sure that you meet and greet all of your guests.

RECEIVING LINE

What is a receiving line?

As guests arrive, they line up to meet with the Bride and Groom, who stand by the entrance of the reception and welcome guests into the event.

Why choose a receiving line for your reception

•  It is an efficient and quick way to meet and greet your guests
•  It adds energy to the start of your reception
•  You meet and speak with every single guest at the beginning of the reception, so you can relax and enjoy the event later

TABLE VISITS

What are table visits?

Table visits normally happen near the end of dinner while your guests are still seated. After the Bride and Groom have finished their meals, they visit each table to speak with the guests there—making sure not to miss anyone or any table!

Why choose table visits for your reception

• Table visits are a more casual, relaxed approach to meeting your guests
• Table visits give you more time to speak with each guest, without the pressure and wait time of a long line
• Table visits allow your guests to arrive to your reception quickly, get acquainted with other guests, grab a drink, and mingle—which sets a great tone for the rest of the reception.

Whichever you choose, receiving line or table visits, these are two great options for making sure you celebrate your wedding day with all of your loved ones!
