The flowergirl looks demure in white eyelet touched with ribbon to match the bridesmaids' dresses and a dainty wreath in her hair. The ringbearer is a'dashing master in his three- piece pinstripe suit and boutonniere with a dash of colour added in the pocket handkerchief. ( photo by Mad• Campbell • Wedding invitations Receiving a wedding invitation com- mits you to certain obligations. Do you know what they are? The first is to promptly return the rep- ly card or send a personal letter accep- ting or declining. Children are included' in a family invitation only if their names appear on the inside envelope, and single guests should not bring an escort unless they are specifically invited to do so. Accepting the invitation to the ceremony and reception commits you to sending a wedding gift. If it's a second marriage, it is not necessary to give a present. There is no obligation to send a gift if yDu receive an announcement of .the wed- ding, but it is thoughtful to write a note of congratulations. ' Try to arrive at the wedding half an hour before the ceremony. If you are late and arrive within 10 minutes of the ser- vice, seat yourself, or remain standing, at the back of the church. When the ceremony is over, wait until the ushers have escorted the family of the bride and groom out of the church, before you leave. Once outside the church you will be caught up in the crowd trying to congratulate the newlyweds before they are whisked off for a photography session. You are usually invited,to the reception hall for refreshments during this interim. . When the bride and groom arrive, they usually form a receiving line with their parents so the guests can be introduced to both families and the attendants. In- troduce yourself to members of the party you don't know, congratulate the couple and make some remark about the wed- ding. Then, sign the guest book and seat yourself for dinner. When you've eaten and the band begins to play, wait for the bridal couple to have their first dance alone. The entire wed- ding party should be on the dance floor before the guests join in. The bride and groom's departure signals the party is almost over, but you should not leave before they do. Then, before going, thank a member of the bride's immediate family for their hospitality. If there is a crush of guests and you are in a hurry, phone or write a thank - you note the next day.
