Hello, I'm new here! I'm getting married next year and I've been wondering that do I HAVE to take off my veil for the reception? Because I really want to leave it on, even tho I know it might get in the way here and there. I've seen different wedding clips on TV and I've seen quite a few brides leave theirs on, but most weddings I go to they take theirs off. Would it matter what I do? Because if I pay a lot for my veil, I want to keep it on as long as I can! lol But seriously, I want to keep everying on that I have until we leave the party! Thanx for any imput!!!

It gets in the way a whole lot more than once in a while. However, if you switch a shorter veil for the long one used in the wedding ceremony, it creates less opportunities to become one on the "Wild Wedding" videos.

Hi. I wore my veil during my reception and rarely had problems with it getting in the way. It was when I was dancing with people that they would put their hand on my veil and end up pulling down on it a little. If that happened I would ask them to let go of my veil or pull it out from under their arm/hand myself. My longest layer would be considered to be fingertip length and the shorter layer waist/elbow length.
If you want to wear your veil the entire reception go ahead!! It is up to you. If you find that you are having problems I bet that there would be someone there to help you remove your veil if needed later.
FYI-You can make your veil very inexpensively yourself (or if you know someone good with sewing). My mom made mine for about $15. Below is the site she used to help her make it:

Best of Luck.

I kept mine on until a young cousin practically ripped my hair out. That's when I took it off.

I left mine on -- it was a fingertip veil and was perfectly fine. Another bride I know didn't wear hers, because it was so long -- it trailed the ground.

I couldn't decide whether or not to take my veil off, so they made mine with a comb attachment (instead of putting it onto the headpiece). I would like to keep it on (I think), but at least I'll always have the option. To answer your question, there is no real right or wrong answer to whether to keep the veil on or off - it's completely up to you. If you're not 100% sure you'll keep it on the whole time, I'd suggest a comb attachment.

I used a comb attachment, too. It was really easy to remove and didn't mess up my hair at all.
If it helps, the bottom layer of my veil was about waist-length and the top layer was approximately to my bra hooks.
