This is the latest argument...but I keep reminding myself that I'M OVER IT.
I'd love any advice.
i'm just a simple twenty-something living the dream in indiana. my favorite things are my beautiful nieces and nephews, my charming fiancee and a homey little bar called corby's. welcome to my world.

we didn't do one! we had 640 so we totally understand!!! :) People kinda made their own while we were eating though...so either way you'll get to talk to people!!! It's hard and we felt bad too but being Italian and having a HUGE family that's just the way it goes! :)
That is so nice that the church is kicking you out! :)
I don't think anyone would be offended if you didn't have a receiving line. Your guests will come up and talk with you and Joe during your reception. :)
tell'em to meet you on the dance floor! We did the church receiving line and at the reception i started going to all the tables to thank everyone for coming. two tables and 30 minutes later i realized that was a bad idea and returned to my spot on the dance floor. It is YOUR day, make sure you have fun and don't worry about that stuff!
PS - can't wait to see you this weekend!
Personally, I don't think most people care whether or not there is a receiving line. They are going to be coming up to you all night talking about the wedding and congratulating you. Not like they won't get a chance to talk to you. We didn't have one since the church kicked us out as well...so...do what you want. It's your day. That's always been my philosophy. :)
I don't really want to do one either! I have heard people say do it but others say don't, with that many people I would say you are ok with not, people don't care!
I don't think guests enjoy waiting in the receiving line anyway. Don't do it! Do one thing your way!! We'll find you and hug you during the reception.
I say skip it. People are really looking forward to getting to the reception and seeing the pyrotechnics whilst John Legend belts out selections from Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet" album (assuming he is on time--and he ALWAYS is!).
Also, people are going to need time to read the instructions to the jet packs I ordered. They are in some strange German/Japanese dialect I am not familiar with. Thank goodness there are 500 people coming to this thing; Someone's bound to know Germanese.
Really though, while it's your day it sounds like afterward it's someone else's too so when it's over, don't give the option. Just rush out the door and hop into the sled-dog-powered limo and go! People will say things and throw rice at your faces plenty later on. I PROMISE!
