The groom should supply a list of names
of such persons as he desires to have present,
designating his preference for those to be
present at the breakfast or reception.
In addressing wedding invitations, two
envelopes are used. The inner one, unsealed,
bears the name only of the person addressed,
and is enclosed in another envelope, sealed,
bearing the address of the person invited.
Parents should, of course, order these
invitations of a fashionable dealer in stationery,
that good taste may be observed.
If the invitation contains an invitation to
the breakfast or reception, it should be accepted
or declined at once, and the answer
sent to those issuing the invitation. If the
invitation does not include a breakfast or
reception invitation, no acknowledgment is
necessary.
Should the wedding, however, be at home,
and the guests limited in number, an
acknowledgment should be sent.
If the invitations bear the letters R. S. V. P.
an acknowledgment is necessary.
BRIDESMAIDS. At a large church wedding several
invitations are usually given to the
bridesmaids for their own personal use.
CALLS. Very intimate friends can call personally.
Friends of the groom who have no
acquaintance with the bride's family should
send their cards to those inviting them.
Those who do not receive with wedding
invitations and announcements At Home
cards should not call, but consider themselves
dropped from the circle of acquaintances
of the married couple.
CARDS, LEAVING. If a person is invited to a
wedding at a church, but not to the reception
or breakfast, a card should be left or mailed
both to the bride's parents and to the
married couple.
Those present at the ceremony should
leave cards in person for those inviting them,
and if this is not possible, they can send
them by mail or messenger.
Those invited but not present should send
cards to those who invited them.
RECALLED. When for some good reason a
wedding has to be canceled or postponed,
the parents of the bride should, as soon as
possible, send printed notices, giving the
reasons, to all the invited guests.
JOURNEY. See Wedding Trip.
MAID OF HONOR. See Maid of Honor.
MARKING GIFTS. See Marking Wedding Gifts.
MARRIED COUPLE. Immediately after the wedding
breakfast or reception, the bride, with
her maid of honor, retires to change her
clothes for those suitable for travel. The
groom, with his best man, does likewise, and
waits for his wife at the foot of the stairs.
As she comes down the stairs she lets fall
her bridal bouquet among the bridesmaids,
who strive to secure it, as its possession is
deemed a lucky sign of being the next bride.
