I have - to find out when my husband was getting there.
He was very late and I wanted an update.

Yes .. just recently at wedding and had to get in touch with my brother b/c he was watching my dd.. this was an easy way of finding out how things were going instead of having to walk down flights of stairs to go outside.

Re: texting at wedding reception...have you ever done it??
Yes. It was work related and had to be answered immediately (Friday afternoon-early evening wedding reception). That's life!

I don't think I have texted at a wedding reception, but I wouldn't have a problem doing it.
Now if your question asked about texting during a wedding ceremony... I would have a completely different answer!
Agree

i don't even bring my phone to weddings. and i think it's rude if it's the person i'm with that's texting.
I don't bring my phone either. Mainly because it doesn't fit in an evening purse along with my ID and camera But seriously, it's a special event so whoever needs to contact me can get me later. I'm usually with all the people that would call me anyways.

I have. Not like conversations or anything, but one here or there...no biggie.
And yes, some people may not be preventing nuclear war but not all jobs are Mon-Fri 9-5 and there are other emergencies in life. Who am I to judge what someone constitutes as important.

I was once at a wedding where a guy brought a portable TV to watch a baseball playoff game.
To answer the OP, I've never done it, but then again I don't goto many weddings. I'd do it and not think twice about it.

I haven't, but it wouldn't bother me if someone did.
Same here, and if I had to my kids I would just leave the room.

If it's important and work related, leave the room and handle your 'business' -
I just think it's very bad manners to have it out at the table or in the middle of party and be engrossed in your phone -

I can't recall ever doing it, but I would. There is so much going on at a wedding reception no one would even take notice IMO.

I agree! I also think it's pretty pathetic when you can't put your phone down for a couple hours.

Take it outside...fine. But a quick message here or there is not going to hurt anyone and honestly most people don't even notice.
And once again not everyone can put their phone down for a couple of hours. There are jobs that require people to be on call and jobs that don't end at 5 on Fri.

Re: texting at wedding reception...have you ever done it??
I think its perfectly fine except during speeches or toasts or during the ceremony.
I've done it a few times while sitting at the table.

Yes but most people that don't put their phone down are not one of those people. I can understand a few texts here and there but some people go all night!
Besides what did these people do 10-15 years ago...

Re: texting at wedding reception...have you ever done it??
I may have but don't recall. We went to a wedding years ago and didn't really know anyone and were left alone at the table at one point, and may have.
I would never ever think to do this during a ceremony though. devices are turned off before we even get out of the car to go into the church!

Re: texting at wedding reception...have you ever done it??
I've never done it. I could only see myself texting during a reception if it was really necessary - like, if I had kids who were trying to reach me, or as a previous poster said, checking on the whereabouts of her husband who was late getting there. But not during a ceremony, toasts, cake cutting - any time I was really supposed to be paying attention. And honestly, if I'm at a wedding, I'm generally too busy socializing to even think about my cell phone!

Obviously if we have all noticed other do it, it's not that discreet, isn't it?

I don't believe everyone in this thread said they saw someone doing it. I myself have never seen someone doing it, besides when I have done it myself. And I said most people, not all...but a poll coud always be added later to prove me wrong.
My point was not that it was not rude. It was that some people are on call and not everyone has the ability to put their phones down. 10-15 years ago people had pagers or people were called out of rooms. Oh well..

Re: texting at wedding reception...have you ever done it??
I think it would depend on the situation. My DH's cell phone went off while we were on the alter. Someone texted him congratulations and he had forgotten to turn his phone off when he got to the church. I was the only other person that heard his phone beep.

Re: texting at wedding reception...have you ever done it??
I think texting when you are with other people is rude in general unless it is really necessary. In those cases I think it's no big deal. However, I cannot stand the people that sit and text back and forth with someone the entire time they are out. If they wanted to talk to that person so badly then they should have gone out with them instead!

Re: texting at wedding reception...have you ever done it??
I am not much of a texter to begin with so I can't imagine texting at a wedding or other social event. I would step out of the room and make a call before I would text if I HAD to speak with someone at that moment.

Honestly, I think texting is better then someone yapping on a phone.
ditto. ive texted with my phone near my lap and basically under the table so that no one knew what i was doing. but to blatantly have your phone out at the table or babbling loudly is a bit rude IMO.
