There's no reason children can't be as well dressed as the adults at a wedding. 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.

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.
