The Lucknow Sentinel, 1986-02-26, Page 23How you rate as. .C.
So, along with the usual assortment of
bills, advertisements and magazines, the ,
day's mail brought you an invitation to a
wedding.
You may be a terrific friend to the cou-
ple embarking on married life, but how
do you rate as a guest? Here's a pop quiz
to check if you were paying attention
when your mother told you how to behave
at a wedding.
True or false:
.1. Verbal acceptance of a wedding in-
vitation is fine.
.2. You don't have to send a gift if you
don't attend the wedding.,
•3.. You should bring the wedding present
to the reception.
.4. If you're dating someone, it's all right
.to bring him or her to the wedding.
.5. A woman invited to the wedding
shouldn't wear all black or white.
.6. The.last person to be seated in the
church is the mother of the bride.
Ready to theCk your answers?•
( Remember, it's impolite to cheat on
tests.) •
.1. False. Unless it's a very informal in-
vitation, you are, required to :answer with
a brief handwritten note on a double
sheet of fine white note paper. If a
response card is enclosed in theinvita-
tion, use that.
.2. True. If you're close to the couple,
you'll probably want to send a gift, but it
isn't required.
•3. False,. Unless the gift is a check, send
the present to the home of the bride as.,.
soon as possible after you receive the
weddingliiritatinii. Checks, properly
tucked into correct little envelopes, can
be handed to the couple at the reception.
el. False. An invitationis rly for thoe.

specifically mentioned. Unless it reads
"and guest" or "and family," assume it's
only for you.
.5. True. Although the rules are bent
on this, especially since black is so
fashionable now. In general, judge what
you should wear by the formality of the
invitation. Men can't go wrong with a
classic suit and tie. Women, can always
play it safe in a street length dressypar-
ty or cocktail dress.
.6. True. This is the signal that the
ceremony is about to begin. If you arrive
later, stand unobtrusively.at the back
unless the ushers direct otherwise. It's
best to try to arrive at least 10-15 minutes
early.

Nanning the honeyrrjoott trip,
When planning your trip, start with a
good travel agent. She can be a big help
by arranging ground transportation,
sightseeing tours, theater tickets and pro-
viding information about currency,
passports, good restaurants and points of
interest.
Whether you'll be'enloying country
comforts or big city living, there are
many considerations when choosing a
place to stay.
• Is it located near the places you want
to go? ,
• How far from the airport is it and
how will you get there?
• noes the place you've chosen offer
any special honeymoon packages?
• 4rc there sports facilities available
that coincide with your interests?
•
13e aware of what paper S may be
needed (passport, visa). Are immuniza-
tions needed?
• Will your credit cards be accepted in
the area you are travelling to?
In order to be helpful, your travel
agent should know your budget, when
you've set aside time and how much, the
type of experience you're looking for and
things the two of you enjoy doing
together. Remember to be open to sug-
gestions and you may get a pleasant sur-
prise.
