If the reception is following a ceremony that was before one o'clock it is called a breakfast, now the gathering following a ceremony that had been held after one o'clock is called the reception. There is a receiving line at a very formal reception or breakfast. If you have decided to hold a less formal party the bride and groom may feel like greeting guests by mingling with them. If you decide to do this it is very important that you take the time to talk to all the guests so that know one feels forgotten. The traditional wedding drink is champagne, which is used for making toasts although it is important to also have non-alcoholic drinks served. The toast to the bride and groom is given by the best man or some one close to the couple. They may choose to have an original toast or they may decide to say something along the lines of, "Here's health and happiness to the loveliest of brides and the luckiest of grooms." The couple is then to remain seated while the other guests and wedding party stands to raise their glasses to the toast. The groom would then thank everyone from his bride and himself, however if the bride feels it necessary she too can join her husband in the reply. The toast can be given at any time during the reception or also before or after the cake has been cut.
