Re: Wedding related ?
Yeah....the B&G need to go around to greet the guests.... unless....they attended the cocktail hour. Usually the B&G do that to avoid doing the greetings during the reception

Re: Wedding related ?
We went to our cocktail hour just so that we could get the "hello's" out of the way. I made sure I ate & then headed down...Then at the reception, I didn't go to each table unless I didn't see them in the cocktail room

Re: Wedding related ?
At my own wedding my hubby and I did make rounds to thank everyone. My mother made it a point to tell me it was the correct thing to do. I think I would have gotten a slap to the head if I didn't  To comment on my own question I do think they should have come around to thank everyone........

Re: Wedding related ?
We didn't make traditional rounds so to speak either. We did make sure though that for the older people, we did go to their tables. The younger crowd we spoke to on the dance floor.

Re: Wedding related ?
we were going to have a reciving line at our wedding but then our guest totaly was only 80 people
I greeting my side and he greeted his side
after I feelt bad becasue I didnt realy greet his side I said hello to them during the cocktail hr
We stood by the entrance and some what greeted everyone
I think a reciving line is the way to go...that way you get to everyone and you dont miss the whole reception

Re: Wedding related ?
We didnt make the rounds - but we were at CH and i think I did say hello to almost everyone at some point or another.
I would walk up to people though and they would nonchalantly walk away. I kind of felt like a leper. I didnt find out until later that it was because of the papparazzi of video and camaras following me around all night. No one wanted to get caught on film. I guess by the time the reception came around I was oblivious to it, but our guests were very aware of it!

Re: Wedding related ?
we made the rounds to all the tables - but we also had time to eat and dance
I think the older people do expect you to come over to them, and that is fine by me...afterall they are there for you, but I also think that nowadays guests do not expect you to have a 10min conversation with each of them, bc they want you to enjoy your wedding

Re: Wedding related ?
it wasnt until after our wedding that DH and I realized that we werent sure if we hit every table. but the night flew by so quick and we were getting pulled 20 different ways for pics, dances, etc that i couldnt keep things straight in my head! i think we hit most of the tables, but with our families, people are gonna find something to complain about no matter what you do! cant please everyone, but to me all that matters is that DH and i were pleased! 
ETA: we did the receiving line at the Church so even if we did miss people at the RH, we definitely said hi at the Church.

Re: Wedding related ?
DH and I made the rounds at the cocktail hour.
I was determined to eat and enjoy myself at the reception. When we weren't eating we were on the dancefloor. Anyone who came out to dance we talked with.
We only had 94 people at our wedding but I was determined, because we paid for the entire thing, to be one of the few brides who eats everything and fully enjoys her reception.
It never got back to me that anyone felt slighted.

Re: Wedding related ?
DH and I made a point to have a recieving line as well as be at our cocktail hour so we could greet as many guests as possible. We wanted to enjoy our reception and dance the night away - and we had a BLAST!

I feel the exact same way! People are always going to complain not matter what you do, so you might as well have fun!

Re: Wedding related ?
we did it at our cocktail hr. We saw everyone and then went back to some tables and on the dance floor. I spent most of my time on the dance floor so if you wanted to get me, you had to dance.

My friends who got married last month didnt either. She had almost 300 ppl and she said she didnt care!!
We also had 300 guests and some time delay issues due to a vendor not showing up that day and ended up haviing to do photos during the dinner portion of our reception. We had 25 tables at the reception we tried so hard to make the rounds, were only successfully made to 10 tables. I still feel awful about it, but this was beyond our control.

Re: Wedding related ?
I make a point to go over the bride and groom to say hello, thank them for having us etc. - I have never ONCE been offended or annoyed if they didn't 'make the rounds' to our table to say hello to US - I think that's just petty and ridiculous. - What's the big deal ??
If they don't get over to you, make a point to get your butt on the dance floor and say hello to them - it's THEIR day
I had plenty of 'older' guests who didn't budge from their seats all night - You know what ? I said hello to them on the receiving line at Church, chatted w/ the at the Cocktail hour thanked them for coming etc. They alll got personalized, hand written thank you cards .......and if that wasn't enough, then too damn bad -
!!

Re: Wedding related ?
I went around durning cocktail hour and spent the entire night dancing with my new husband. I think people enjoy the wedding more when they see that the bride and groom are having fun at least that is how I feel when I go to weddings. When my cousin got married they danced I think 3 songs together and spent the rest of the night saying hi to her side and they only had maybe 150 guest at the wedding.

Re: Wedding related ?
We made the rounds to every table and my parents got compliments.
I flew down to NC for my cousin's wedding and his new wife couldn't be bothered to come to our table to thank us for flying down..and we were sitting right next to her table!

I'd say the older people were right. You should go around & welcome everyone when you throw a party - even if that party is a wedding.
I agree!

Re: Wedding related ?
IMO.....It is rude to not greet as many guests as possible....it should be done any way you can...
We choose to:
1.Attend our cocktail hour
2.Dance with everyone on the dance floor
3.and visit those tables of the older guests who were not on the dance floor
We saw everyone mulitple times.....& did not spend a lot of time making traditional rounds and also had a kick a s s time at our wedding!!
