Cards to Reserved Pews
To the family and very intimate friends who are to be seated in especially designated pews:
Please present this to an usher
Pew No. ——
on Thursday the ninth of May
Engraved pew cards are ordered only for very big weddings where twenty or more pews are to be reserved. The more usual custom—at all small and many big weddings—is for the mother of the bride, and the mother of the bridegroom each to write on her personal visiting card:
Pew No. 7
Mrs. John Huntington Smith
Four West Thirty-sixth Street
A card for the reserved enclosure but no especial pew is often inscribed "Within the Ribbons."
