WEDDING ETIQUIETTE
To help plan your wedding reception, here are some aspects of traditional wedding etiquette which we hope you will find useful
THE RECEIVING LINE
The full receiving line is an ideal way to greet your guests before commencing the wedding meal. It is composed as follows:
Bride's Mother, Bride's Father, Groom's Mother, Groom's Father, Bride, Groom, Bridesmaids, Best Man
TOP TABLE SEATING
The following seating plan is a suggestion and can be altered to suit your requirements:
Best Man, Chief Bridesmaid, Groom's Father, Bride's Mother. Groom, Bride, Bride's Father, Groom's Mother, Bridesmaid
TOASTS AND SPEECHES
The Bride's Father (or a family friend) proposes the toast to the Bride and Groom.
This is replied to by the Groom, who thanks both sets of parents and guest. He also toasts the Bridesmaids
The Best Man replies on behalf of the Bridesmaids and reads the cards and telegrams.
We guarantee you won't find lower prices online.
