Sheva Brachot: The Seven Jewish Wedding Blessings
 by Rivka C. Berman

Sheva Brachot
(Hebrew: שבע ברכות ) "the seven blessings," are also referred to as the brachot Nesuin (Hebrew: ברכות נישואים ), "the wedding blessings." These blessings are recited by the Rabbi or honored guests under the Chupah (canopy) for the bride and the groom during the Jewish Wedding ceremony.  These same "seven blessing" are also recited as part of the festive meals that continue for a week after the wedding.

Orthodox and Conservative Jews recite the "Sheva Brachot"  only with a minyan, (a quorum of ten), and at least one new invitee is present, one who was not among the guests for any previous Sheva Brachot festivities. The "new face" is only necessary during weekdays, as on Shabbat, the Shabbat itself is considered a new guest . New guests are referred to as Panim Hadashot - new faces.
* Consult with your rabbi as to the pronunciation of God's name, HaShem.
