And the groom and bride did not come to our table to say hello. The groom works with my husband where everyone is very close and we don't know the bride at all. We gave the groom our card with money but he was on his own by the bar. I just thought that was rude. Do they just not do that little custom anymore?

I don't think they do that anymore. I was at my bil wedding last weekend and they didnt hardly talk to anyone. But then again they were only concerned with where the presents go and then how much they were going to get. But thats a whole other story.

Are you kidding me? They didn't have a recieving line? We greeted everyone as they walked out of the church. I can't imagine not greeting guests....that's not too cool IMO.

the last wedding i went to was the same way.They didn't seem to care who was there,just their gifts.They asked everyone for gift cards and money.

I think it's hard to make sure you visit w/everyone at your reception. You also have to consider they may have visited your table when you were up or something.

I hate going to weddings for that reason, but they always have GOOOOOODDD food and the CAKE... man thats worth it for me to go.... I think I would rather be left alone and then if they don't know Im there then they won't ecpect a gift from me...


Im so cheap...

We didn't have a receiving line, but we went to everybody's table. It was fun to do that since there were a lot of our out of town friends and family. I can't imagine just not at least trying to see everybody.

Personally, I am not fond of receiving lines, but I also see the use of them. I wanted a more personal touch and it seemed to work out.

We had a recieving line because we knew there was no way I could manage to walk to every table.

It's usually one or the other now and to do neither is RUDE!

I agree to do neither is rude~ You should do SOMETHING! At my first wedding we had over 200 guests and made it a POINT to goto each table during the reception...I couldn't imagine not seeing everyone and thanking them again....

i think it is up to what the bride and groom want.

personally i dont like receiving lines. i would much rather go to each table and move about.
