Thanks, my venue gave me most of the timescales.... i was worried it was a late evening do but cant really do alot about it.... we also wanted a recieving line but with near 100 guests it will take a good 45 minutes to thank everyone and we have 3 sets of parents so too complicated plus need to be before dinner so what do the guests do while we are having alone time.... is it ok not having one?

Hi Millz, we are having one but we only have 60 guests during the day. My mum really wanted me to have one, so we agreed. I've been to weddings which didn't have one and I didn't even realise there wasn't one until I read your post haha! xx
i dont think we'll have a recieving line! so far we have 125 in the day! ridiculous i know! but id rather just come in when everyone is there and settledxx
CommentAuthormillz090
Thats what i was thinking.... we have 95 day guests so alot to meet and greet in a line so think we will come in once they are seated xxx

Sounds good to me,I think u should make guests aware they won't be eating til 5 tho,so they eat something before coming cos I'd be moaning I'm starving by then lol... My wedding is a 1 wedding but we're eating at 3 x

All very organised, do you think 30 minutes is enough for photographer to capture what you want before you walk in the receoption? I love knowing when and where things happen so all looks fab to me. kel has a good point with the food timing though.

They will see the order of the day in the back of the order of service so all ready arrived by then lol. Im not doing a father daughter dance, never heard of one before joining this site and its American tradition not English plus my dad can barely walk so wont work.
how do i make them aware? Write it in the invites but im thinking people know they wont eat until late?! People wil be hungry though as bus picking everyone up from the venue at 12.15 for the church so they will need a big late breakfast. We cant eat any earlier as need time for pictures and travelling xxx

I'm having a receiving line, it does take time but you've got to ensure that you have thanked and spoken to all your guests :) xx
CommentAuthormillz090
The photographier will have to get everything in 30 minutes, i cant really make anything later and dont want our guests waiting for us.... its just a few pics of us together so shouldnt take him long?! I will send timings to photogrpahier anyway and see what he thinks xxx

Yeah we will speak to every guest, we are going to go round a table between courses but we have 3 sets of parents as all divorced and think it will just take forever :o(

That sounds really good! Might use it myself :) x
CommentAuthorMrsC
I guess if your photographer knows exactly what you want and has scoped out the venue for good spots 30mins is ok.
We're not doing a line either, just mingle and chat through the day and evening No father daughter dance for me either, my dad will give me away and that's that.

Im similar, my dad was paralised a few years ago from a nasty disease so still not 100% back to walking and i think walking me down the aisle without a stick will be enough for him let alone a dance lol. Yeah i will ensure i mingle and chat with everyone but it is just our families and a few friends so wont be hard to get around everyone xxx
