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.
