KISS. The kiss in the ceremony is being done
away with, especially at church weddings.
Only the bride's parents and her most
intimate friends should kiss her, and for others
to do so is no longer good form.
RECEPTIONS OR BREAKFASTS. The married
couple, on arriving at the house of the bride,
place themselves in a convenient location,
and, assisted by the best man, maid of honor,
and the parents of both parties, receive the
invited guests. Congratulations are given
to the groom and best wishes to the bride.
A reception is more often given than a
breakfast, as it allows more invitations and
more freedom, and the refreshments are
placed on the tables, so that the guests help
themselves or are served by the bridesmaids.
The guests wait upon the married couple.
At a breakfast, when the congratulations
are over, the breakfast is announced, and
the married couple lead the way to the table
reserved for them. Parents of both parties,
the best man, and the maid of honor are
usually placed at this table.
Guests leave a card for the host and hostess
and another for the married couple.
Invitations are sent with the wedding
invitations, but only to the nearest relatives and
friends.
They should be immediately acknowledged,
either by letter of acceptance or declination
with regret.
TRIP. All details should be arranged before-
hand by the best man, who knows the
destination, and should keep it an inviolate
secret, revealing it only in case of accident.
It is becoming the fashion for the married
couple to do away with the trip, and instead
to begin their married life in their own home.
VEIL. This should be white. While its length
depends upon the wishes of the bride, the
long veil is more in keeping with the
traditions and customs of the wedding ceremony.
WOMEN-CARDS. When invitations have been
received to the church but not to the
wedding reception, cards should be sent to the
bride's parents and to the bridal couple.
WEDDINGS.
AISLE PROCESSION. See Weddings-Procession
Up the Aisle.
ANNIVERSARIES. See Anniversaries-Wedding.
ANNOUNCEMENTS. Announcement cards are sent
the day after the wedding, and need not be
acknowledged. They should be prepared
beforehand and ready to be mailed. The
expense is borne by the family of the bride.
At a home or a private wedding, announcement
cards can be sent to friends out of town.
