So I am going to be doing a receiving line after the ceremony. I was going to have myself and FH, both our parents and my grandmother if she is feeling up to it, so there would be a total of 7 people. Should I include anyone else in the receiving line? Also, is there a "standard" order that everyone...

Also, is there a "standard" order that everyone should stand in? Should parents be first, then bride/groom, or vice versa?

Thank you!

We did a receiving line and had parents, us and our Koumbara (church sponsor). We had 300 people at our wedding so this was the easiest way to greet everybody. Honestly, we would of had no time to do it at the reception if we had delayed till then as our photographer and videographer kept us busy.

We are doing one and it will only be fh and i. We just went to a wedding a month ago and they had almost everyone up there and it was so odd, lol I skipped all but the bride and groom.

Maybe I will cut it down to just FH and myself. I have been at weddings where I barely saw the bride and groom, and not everyone is at the tables when you go around. This way, you can at least be face to face with your guests.
