CHAPTER
XXIV.
BRIDAL
ETIQUETTE.
In
preparing
a
bridal
outfit,
it
is
best
to
furnish
the
wardrobe
for
at
least
two
years,
in
under-clothes,
and
one
year
in
dresses,
though
the
bonnet
and
cloak,
suitable
for
the
coming
season,
are
all
that
are
necessary,
as
the
fashions
in
these
articles
change
so
rapidly.
If
you
are
going
to
travel,
have
a
neat
dress
and
cloak
of
some
plain
color,
and
a
close
bonnet
and
veil.
Avoid,
as
intensely
vulgar,
any
display
of
your
position
as
a
bride,
whilst
traveling.
Take,
first,
the
weddings
at
church.
In
this
case
none
are
invited
to
the
ceremony
excepting
the
family,
and
the
reception
is
at
the
house
of
the
bride's
mother,
or
nearest
relative,
either
on
the
wedding-day
or
upon
her
return
from
the
bridal
tour.
In
sending
out
the
invitations,
let
the
card
of
the
bridegroom
and
that
of
the
bride
be
tied
together
with
a
white
ribbon,
and
folded
in
the
note
paper
upon
which
is
printed
the
name
of
the
bride's
mother,
with
the
date
of
the
reception-day,
thus:--
MRS.
JOHN
SAUNDERS.
At
home,
Thursday,
Oct.
16th,
from
11
till
2.
No.
218,
----
st.
of
course
the
hours
and
dates
vary,
but
the
form
is
the
same.
If
there
is
no
bridal
reception
upon
the
wedding
day,
the
cards
are
worded:--
MR.
AND
MRS.
JAMES
SMITH.
At
home,
Wednesdays,
On,
and
after,
June
6th.
No.
17,
----
st.
Tie
the
card
with
the
bride's
maiden
name
upon
it
to
this
one.
