If you do not wish to use en- graving, you may choose a form of printing which resembl- es engraving. It is less expen- sive and has become popularly accepted.

Invitations should be ordered from your jeweler, stationer or department stores. Most stores have consultants to advise the wording. Invitations to a church “request the honor of your presence.” Invitations to a reception read, “pleasure of your company.”

The invitations should be sent by the bride's parents. If the |parents are deceased, they are | 8e a close relative. In cases where the pareats are divorced, the invitations are sent by that parent with whom the bride liv- es.

If all of the guests are invited to both the ceremony and the reception, one invitation is suffi- \cient. If there is a separate guest list for each event, a small reception card\is enclos- (ed with the invitatien-to- the ceremony.

The outer envelopes for the in- vitations should be addressed by hand—never typed.. The inner envelope is left unsealed and is addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Doe, without first names or address.

Young children may be includ- ed by writing their first names in a line below their parents’, Older children should receive their own invitations.
