RECEPTION
A husband who is mature enough
to marry should be able to cope
with situations that arise in the
home. If his goal is to make Jus
wife happy, then he will succeed.
K he is worried more about his
own selfish interests, then he may
cause a snag in what could be a
perfect marriage.
Here are some resolutions for
the groom that could help put the
marriage on the blissful beam:
I WILL:
1. Not expect miracles of the
new cook, and will not complain
about the meals, except to con-
structively.
- 2. Try to remember that women
love flattery, and it doesn't cost
anything.
3. Ask her to set a lair clothing
allowance, so that she does not
have to beg for it.
4. Take her out occasionally for
FOR THE BRIDE
I takes two to make a perfect
marriage. The bride who tries to
be a wonderful wife may succeed,
if her busband cooperates. Good
example may help the situation if
the man doesn’t get the point at
first — that there is no sense in
( looking for trouble by prolonging
or nurturing unpleasantries. Do
your beet and you'll have do reg-
rets.
Here are some resolutions that
may help in marital happiness.
I WILL:
1. Make my husband's breakfast
every morning, even if he insists
I stoy in bed.
2. Try to look human at the
breakfast table by wearing a neat
bouse dress or robe, combing my
bair.
JL Avoid mentioning my old boy:
Ariends and what I might have had
if I married another.
4. Make sure that my husband
has clean shirts, underwear and
that his suit returns from the clean-
er promptly.
5. Cook, him dishes that-he en-
joys, and lead him gradually to
better nutrition.
6. Try not to make him over
(all at once).
T. Consult him about home fur-
nishings and decorating.
8. Avoid discussing money mat-
ters with him in the morning, be-
fore he goes to work.
8. Discuss with him plans to in-
vite guests to the home, and the
menu I plan for that evening.
10. Try to avoid being jealous of
bis old friends, male or female.
11- Not pout when he comes

SEEK ADVICE
Don't underestimate the man
who’ll pronounce the words mak-
ing you man and wife.
An engaged couple should sched-
ule an early conference with their
clergyman. He'll have helpful ad-
vice on spiritual and marital ques-
tions and, particularly if he’s an
old friend, will want to satisfy him-
self that you're taking a wise step.
_ The minister, priest or rabbi
also will help you plan details of
the ceremony you’d like. Exact
details often depend upon church
customs and preferences of the
clergyman.
Don’t forget to pay him. The
groom usually gives the fee, $10,
$25 or more if he can afford it.
to the best man, who presents it
to the minister immediately before
or after the ceremony.
PICK THE BEST
From your elosest friends and
relatives near your age, you'll
choose the men and women who'll
take part in your wedding.
A maid or matron of honor and
a best man hold vital roles and
cannot be done without. The de-
gree of formality of the ceremony
rules the number of bridesmaids
— from two to 12 — who will par-
ticipate. In formal weddings, it’s
permissible to have both a maid

ABOUT GIFTS
Nuptial tradition, beloved bi
every bride, decrees several oc-
casions for giving gifts and a num-
ber of recipients.
Gifts for persons involved in the
ceremony are double welcome if
they will be lasting mementos of
the occasion. t,
The bride and groom, of course,
exchange gifts and their remem-
brances should carry a lot of sen-,
timental value. Parents of the
bride may give something extra,
but the wedding, the bride’s trous-
seau and household gifs are con-
sidered her family’s gift.
The groom's family traditional-
ly gives the couple household
items, particularly silver, china or
furnishings, a
Both the bride and the groom
should present personal gifts to
their attendants either at a party
given by the bride and the bachelor
dinner or at the wedding rehears-
al. The bride may give her brides-
maids and maid of honor jewelry
which they can wear at the wed-
ding.
Wedding gifts to the couple from
guests invited to the ceremony or
from friends, if the wedding will
be small, should be sent to the
Ordering the invitations should
be placed high on the bride’s list
of tilings to do when she begins
planning her wedding.
The bride's parents send the in
vitations, which are engraved for
a church ceremony.
An older bride or a young wo-
man who has no close relatives
may quite properly issue her own
invitations.
Mail the invitations about four
weeks before the wedding. If an-
nouncements will be sent, which
is customary in the case of a small
ceremony which only relatives
and close friends attend, they
should be in the mail immediate-
ly after the wedding.
BILL BREAKDOWN
Most expenses of the wedding are
paid by the bride's father. The
groom is expected to pick up the
tab for only a few items until af-
ter the ceremony, when he bears
all expenses of the wedding trip
and, of course, his new wife's sup-
port forever after.
Here's a list of the costs which
should be paid by the bride of her
family and those which should be
paid by the groom.
The bride pays for:

Although diamonds sparkle on
the left hands of most brides-to-be,
there’s freedom of choice in select-
ing the stone for the engagement
ring.
Diamonds have become tradi-
tional because they symbolize pur-
ity and (lawlessness, but etiquette
authorities say any other stone,
particularly if it is a birthstone or
has sentimental value is suitable.
Many modern brides choose to
wear only one ring, a jeweled band
combining the engagement and
wedding ring. But the band can
never be worn until after the cere-
mony.
If the ceremony is to be double-
ring, the bride pays for her fiance’s

mine, instead of criticising the
time he spends on baseball or a
hobby. !
14. Not plead for compliments
all the time.
18. Be sure to have his dinner
ready when he wants it.
18. Not criticise him for a triv-
olous expenditure now and then
if he provides well most of the
time.
17. Talk over a grievance in
mature fashion, not pout or steep
on a grudge.

morning ceremony is properly call-
ed a breakfast and the menu us-
ually consists of dishes such as
creamed chicken or fish, hot bis-
cuits or rolls and coffee as well as
the bride’s cake and punch.
Afternoon or evening receptions
call either for a simple meal of
sandwiches, relishes, sherbet or
an elaborate dinner. The tradi-
tional wedding drink is cham-
pagne, often made into a punch.
Sauterne, a dry white wine, and
fruit punch are equally appropri-
'ate.
Music isn’t a must, but it adds
to the charm of a recoption.
Many brides prefer a string or-
chestra playing popular music or
light classical selections. Dancing
is optional.
Wedding gifts may be display-
ed at a home reception.
Customary reception ritual plac-
es events in this order:
1. Guests are greeted by a re-
ceiving line composed of the bride
and groom, their parents, the
maid of honor and bridesmaids.
2. The bridal party is always
seated for the meal, although
guests may be seated or served
buffet style.
3. The bride and groom cut the
cake and then dance the first
dance.
4. After the first dance, or after
18. Not go off to work without a
goodbye kiss even if I am miffed
about something.
18. Listen to "her day" which
must become boring, for want of
companionship.
17. Try to make her birthday
and our anniversary a festive oc-
casion.
18. When in a bossy mood, I’ll
remember that I’m not paying her
a salary for the housework.
18. Surprise her occasionally
You’re engaged and you’d like
the whole world to know it? You
might have trouble getting the
news to the whole world, but a
newspaper announcement will in-
form your friends and acquaintanc-
es quickly.
It’s the job of the bride’s parents
to send information about the en-
gagement, and often a photograph,
to newspapers in the hometowns
of the bride and groom.
Most papers provide forms for
engagement announcements. Con-
sult the society editor about forms
and her deadline rules.
The information she will need
includes the names and addresses
of the bride, groom and parents
of both and the date and place of
the ceremony.
Write or type the information.
It’s a good idea to include the
bride’s home phone number, in
case the editor wants more de-
tails-. X

number of ushers as the bride’s
attendants, plus an extra man for
each 25 to 50 wedding guests.
Many a detail can be taken care
of and many a slip avoided by the
watchful maid of honor and best
man. The maid of honor’s duties
include holding the bride’s bouquet
during the ceremony, lifting the
bride s face veil back over her
cap, arranging the bridal train
and carrying the groom’s ring for
a double - ring ceremony. She also
helps the bride dress for traveling
after the ceremony.
The best man relieves the
groom of all possible details, in-
cluding checking the marriage li-
cense, helping the groom dress,
packing luggage, registering at a
hotel for the couple, handing the
clergyman a fee, notifying ushers
which pews are reserved for
families and guarding the wed-
ding ring. He also proposes the
first toast to the newlyweds at
the reception.
REHEARSAL
A rehearsal should be consider-
ed a must for the smooth per-
formance of the actual ceremony.
At the rehearsal, under the care-
ful tutelage of a bridal consultant
or some other expert and the
clergyman, all the members of the
wedding party will learn their
roles for the wedding itself.
If the bride is superstitious about
standing at the altar with her hus-
band-to-be before the ceremony,
she may choose a friend or rela-
tive to stand in for her. But she
