Skip the receiving line and do photos together instead

Ah, the receiving line. That thing that many couples sorta dread, where you stand there awkwardly smiling and hugging people and maybe feeling awkward (…or worse). We loved Mary & Craig’s solution…

Ah, the receiving line. That thing that many couples sorta dread, where you stand there awkwardly smiling and hugging people and maybe feeling uncomfortable (…or worse). We loved Mary & Craig’s solution…

Instead of a receiving line, we made a photo booth backdrop based on “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” and had our guests line up to take their picture with us before going into the reception.

This awesome idea means that not only is your receiving line a bit more focused and fun, but you make sure you have pictures with all your guests! (Bonus idea: the pictures could then be the base of thank you cards.)
