celebration you will

ut before you and your
groom ask friends or
relatives to stand up wi
you, ask yourself some tough
questions.
Who do you really wan?
Will it ,';:° friends or funnily?
How anaoy .:, ttea daants will
there be? You will want peo-
ple who will u closest and
most helpful to you. Who did
you rush to call first with the
news that you two were gets

You attendants are per-
sonal choices. While it's
customary for each of you to
include a member of the

add charm. If you ;,m:ve a

g child, ask earn : oat
don't feel obligated to ask
children.
Keep your plans flexible_
You may find you have to do
some rearranging. Your
rtaother may feel you really
should ask your cousin
Joanne, you grew up
together, after all. You
groom might be upset
because you asked one sister
but not the other and he real-
ly wants there both to be
maids.
You have to choose
whether to add another at-
tendant or try to smooth over
the rift as best you can. You
don't have to invite anyone
extra; point out your plans
are final and include them in
extra little ways.
If it's a decision between
one more maid or a family
fight, you may be happier in
the end if you ask cousin
Joanne or your other sister-
in-law.
Find special jobs for
friends who won't be in the
wedding party. Your room-
mate with the beautiful
handwriting could address
the invitations. On the wed-
ding day .;:: little sister
could be kee, -r of the recep-
tion guest book. tisk your lit-
tle brother to escort your
mother down the aisle.
Adapt the rules to meet
your needs. Two best friends
can .;: maids of honor or a
maid and a matron of honor.
A sister who is pregnant?
Tradition says she should ex-
cuse herself from the wed-
ding party, but if you really
want her there, then let your
mother and your groom
know the situation, so they
can prepare any guests who
may think it a breach of eti-
quette.
Then choose gowns for the
attendants which will be flat-
tering if styl' . with a mater-
nity waistline, an empire
waist for example.
Consider the range of
budgets and bodies when
choosing formal wear and
dresses, and give maids and
ushers a voice in the final
selection. The bride and
groom may choose two or
three men's outfits and then
let the ushers take a vote.
Fids wi;l especially
clothes they can wear ,:.gain.
Consider a skirt with a I:cy
blouse. A long halter dress
topped with a 4.lero or
ca let. Match hats to dress
style, hairstyles and face
shapes.
Remember they're paying
for everything but the
flowers, it's only polite to
please them as much as you
possibly can.
Be prepared for any last-
minute crisis. Find a place to
stay for out-of-town atten-
dants. Keep a couple of peo-
ple filed in the back off your
mind who might fill in if a
maid or usher comes down
with pneumonia the day
before.
Say thank you with an ex-
tra special gift, something
handsome and practical to
serve as a lasting memento
of your wedding. Traditional
gifts include gold or silver
jewellery. But you may
choose a single engraved
pewter or silver cup, simple
earrings, a handsome wallet
or handbag.
Trend, of the '80s is romance
The trend of the '80s return
to elegance and romance
seems to have extended
itself into every aspect of our
lives — including weddings.
Today's brides can enjoy
all the romance and customs
of traditional weddings with
the advantage of 1981 style
and simplicity. The follow-
ing are a few old and new
wedding customs that the
Pond's .eauty Institute
would like to share with the
bride-to-be.
The brishower — The
first bridal shower came to
be when a poor Dutch miller
fell in love with a maiden
whose father forbade the
match and refused to pro-
vide a dowry. The miller's
friends came to the rescue

and showered the bride-to-be
with enough gifts to start
housekeeping.
While the custom of
showers continues, t .y's
bride also has the conve-
nience of a Wedding Gift
Registry service, some of
which are even computerizd..
ed. She can sign tap for
everything from kitchen
gadgets to linens, making

Ask how long it should take
for your order to be filled,
and if you don't hear
anything from the store by
then, give them a call. Mix-
ups are very rare but it's
safest not to ;: ke a chance.
+ Once the store does
notify you that your dress is
in, make an appointment for
a fitting right away. Again,
Today's bride has endless
choices. Many women opt
for multi-purpose products
such as cleansers that
moisturize, or all-over
moisturizers like the new
cream and cocoa butter
cream by Pond's.
Hence, the word honey-
moon, now meaning a
romantic trip the newlywr'
couple makes after the wed-
ding. Today's couples can
walk along pink, sandy
beaches or ski glistening
white rountaaisas, they can
dance till dawn or tuck
themselves in at sunset.

for: Is the hese just rit, or
is there a c ,., ce you'll trip
