Emma's answers to reception etiquette
Who sits next to Great Uncle John? When do we cut the cake? It's hard to know what the 'right' things are when planning your reception and, in any case, do you want to do the 'right' thing? Do you want to follow tradition but add a twist of your own? This is your big day, and there are no rules that you have to follow when planning your reception - only to make sure that it's what you both really want. So, stay calm and start planning the celebration to end all celebrations.
