I've seen some forum posts and magazine articles about the etiquette of the receiving line. I've definitely been to weddings with them - they seem to usually be weddings at a church, they have a receiving line outside the church before you go to the reception site.
My question is, what about if you're having your wedding & reception in the same place? Is a receiving line realistic? Logistically, how/when/where does it work?
We're only having 100 guests, so I hope that we will have time during the night to greet each guest, but I don't want to spend the whole reception visiting tables, I'd like to have enough time to dance and have fun. What do you all think?
