Mr. and Mrs. Richard Littlehouse
Request the honour of
Presence at the marriage of their daughter Betty To Mr. Frederic Robinson On Saturday the fifth of November at four o'clock At the house of Mr. and Mrs. Sterlington Tuxedo Park New York R.s.v.p.
No variation is permissible in the form of a wedding invitation. Whether fifty guests are to be invited or five thousand, the paper, the engraving and the wording, and the double envelope are precisely the same.
Church Card of Admittance In cities or wherever the general public is not to be admitted, a card of about the size of a small visiting card is enclosed with the church invitation:
Please present this card, at St. John's Church On Tuesday the first of November
Cards to Reserved Pews To the family and very intimate friends who are to be seated in especially designated pews:
Please present this to an usher Pew No. —— On Thursday the ninth of May
Engraved pew cards are ordered only for very big weddings where twenty or more pews are to be reserved. The more usual custom—at all small and many big weddings—is for the mother of the bride, and the mother of the bridegroom each to write on her personal visiting card:
Pew No. 7
Mrs. John Huntington Smith
Four West Thirty-sixth Street
A card for the reserved enclosure but no especial pew is often inscribed " Within the Ribbons."
Invitation To The House The invitation to the breakfast or reception following the church ceremony is engraved on a card to match the paper of the church invitation and is the size of the latter after it is folded for the envelope: Mr. and Mrs. John Huntington Smith Request the pleasure of Mr. & Mrs. James Greatlake's Company on Tuesday the first of November at half after four o'clock At Four West Thirty-sixth Street R.s.v.p.
Ceremony And Reception Invitation In One Occasionally, especially for a country wedding, the invitation to the breakfast or the reception is added to the one to the ceremony:
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Chatterton Request the honour of Mr & Mrs. Worldly's Presence at the marriage of their daughter Hester To Mr. James Town, junior On Tuesday the first of June at three o'clock at St. John's Church And afterwards at Sunnylawn Ridgefield R.s.v.p.
Or the invitation reads " at twelve o'clock, at St. John's Church, and afterwards at breakfast at Sunnylawn"; but " afterwards to the reception at Sunnylawn" is wrong.
