Inexpensive wood can be easily stained to complement your table setting. Floral greens may be added to provide the finishing touch. • For attractive 'placesetters,' put floating candles in small brandy snifters with a ribbon and guest name tied to the stem. Use your imagination when decorating with candles and you can add special glow to your wedding day. Some suggestions for a smooth receiving line • You and your groom review the guest list with both families to refresh your memory on names. • Look over both your lists to remember the names of each friend's husband or wife. • Introduce yourself to guests you don't know. • If you forget a name — which is easy to do — smile, thank the person for coming, or apologize and ask to be reminded. • Smile at everyone, shake hands, or give a hug and kiss to those you know better. • Gloves should not be worn. • You may have ushers or waitstaff bring something to drink for the guests in line. • Go to the restroom or get a drink, if needed, before forming the line, but do it quickly.
