How are you greeting all of your guests? Receiving line or table visits?

I do not want to do a receiving line unless we have extra time so we will most likely do table visits.

Here some options that I love and am considering myself since we're doing a mostly standup reception, and can't go around to each table...
- A sweetheart table with a fancy sign on the back of our chairs that says, "Come say Hi"
- Mingling with our guests while co-serving our guests a platter of hordurves together.
- Writing a personalized note for each of our guests to make sure they hear some heartfelt words from us.

Pretty sure it will be table visits if we can....but we won't get to everyone that's for sure.

Not sure! I'm torn between both, but we're probably going to do table visits to keep it more casual.

We did table visits since it was family and close friends. Seeing that they were having a good time and enjoyed the food.

We had a receiving line to make sure we greeted everyone and tried to visit with as many people through the night as well. We had 150 people and though we wanted to visit every table, it proved difficult so I’m glad we had the receiving table

Planning both! Incase some can only make the reception or the ceremony it gives a hood chance to see everyone!!

I’m in the very first steps of planning (we don’t have a date yet), but I’m all for table visits. I can understand it’s not possible for big weddings.

Got married on July 14. We did table visits and it worked out great. Pleople really appreciated that we greeted and acknowledged them. Also gave us a chance to take more pics with guests.

We really wanted to go table to table, but it's just not feasible with our schedule, and the number of tables we have. Plus we have lots of older family members, and they sort of expect it!

We're doing a receiving line at the church as everyone is leaving the ceremony (which gives my friend who is also our wedding planner) time to hop over to the reception hall, open it for the bartenders and DJ before people get there), before we do family photos. People will be able to leave to head straight to cocktail hour after the receiving line.

We're going to do lots of mingling and socializing during the dance, as well.

We are thinking about going table to table. Guest will want to chat and take pictures. Plus I as a guest hate standing in line to say hello. Lol

Our plan is to talk to as many people as possible during the cocktail, then probably visit tables if we've missed people, unless we simply invite people to come and see us at our table while we're having dinner. It would mean so much less time away from food for them than it would for us (and the food is really good, so I want time to enjoy it!).

We did table visits.

We did group pictures with everyone right after the ceremony and we also did table visits. Although, our guests were mingling too so we may have missed greeting a few people!

Receiving lines make me think of funerals, so I'd rather not feel like that at my wedding. So 100% table visits!

Table visits!

I don't quite care for the recieving line... it kinds of makes it like school attendance or like you are looking for them to hand you a card with money or a present... I don't know if we will go around to each table either though - I think that we will have a couple chairs at our sweetheart table that people can come to talk to us ooooooooorrrrrr they can feel free to mingle during the evening portion of the night. Besides - most of the people invited to the wedding we see on a pretty regular basis anyway.

O...M...G I hadnt even thought of that Now I’m wondering what else I might have forgotten :/

I've only ever been in a receiving line at funerals, so we're definitely not going to be doing that. I like the idea of walking around and saying hello to (almost) everyone.

We would like to do the receiving line just incase we don't get around to every table

I'm not sure yet, but will probably do table rounds. I feel like the receiving line can get daunting, especially if a guest is talking to us for awhile and there's still lots of guests waiting to say hi

We'll have to do table visits. Doesn't work logistically for us to do a receiving line. We are going straight from ceremony to reception (downstairs to upstairs), so my FH and I are going to take 10-15 mins to ourselves while everyone shuffles upstairs.
