Receiving Line Order

Is there a typical way in which the couple and parents are arranged? Not a big deal for me except that my parents are divorced and do NOT get along at all. We're considering leaving them (all parents) out completely. Any opinions?

    If they can't put aside their differences for a couple of hours for their daughter's wedding, then leave them out of the receiving line.  It's unfortunate that they can't behave like adults.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    Aren't receiving lines supposed to be mixed up anyway?  As in:

    MOB - FOG - Bride - Groom - FOB - MOG

    If this is the case, the MOB can introduce their family/friends to FOG or FOG can introduce their family/friends to MOB and everyone can meet everyone.

    We are planning to use a receiving line with just us (bride and groom) and have the wedding party mingling in the same area should our families want to say hi. We want the receiving line to be smooth and quick because we will still have photos to take after the ceremony.
