One thing that we've noticed often gets left out of the timeline or get overlooked all together when trying to plan out your day is the recieving line. For those of you opting to do the majority of your photos after the ceremony, that time in between ceremony and reception is usually tight and covetted by you and your photographer. Therefore, if you do want to have a traditional recieving line as well (weather it is at the church or reception) you will need to make sure to allow time in your schedule. You will want to estimate how long it will take which will depend on the number of guests. More and more couples are either opting to get mot of the photos done before hand so they don't have to worry about rushing around after the ceremony, and doing a special “reveal” (the moment we set up when the Bride and Groom first see each other) or they opt to make sure they get around to chat with each table instead of doing a traditional recieving line.

What are your thoughs? Did you do a receiving line? Do you wish you did it differently? Any ideas for untraditional ways to greet your guests?
