wing form is appropriate: MR. and MRS. EGBERT
RAY CRANSTON, At Home, Thursdays in September, from four until six
o'clock. 48 Washington Street.

Or, in place of designating especial days, it may read: MR. and MRS.
EGBERT RAY CRANSTON, At Home, after September first. 48 Washington
Street.

Where the list of acquaintances is very large it sometimes happens
that a portion of the guests are invited to the church only. When this
is the case the reception card is omitted from the envelope; but if a
visiting acquaintance is to be maintained, "At Home" cards must be
enclosed.

Wedding Invitations.

The home wedding is, perhaps, less stately in appearance, but,
involving as it does, less care on the part of friends and less
nervous strain on that of the bride, is frequently adopted. The
invitations are precisely the same as for a church wedding, merely
inserting street and number in place of designating the church,
omitting, of course, the card of admittance and that for reception.
The "At Home" card of the newly-married couple should always be
enclosed lest doubt as to their new address prove perplexing to their
friends.

Sometimes, where life is to be commenced in their own home, the wedded
pair, soon after their establishment therein, send out "At Home" cards
for a few evenings after this style: MR. and MRS. EGBERT RAY CRANSTON,
At Home, Tuesday evenings in September, from eight to eleven o'clock.
48 Washington Street.

Gatherings such as these partake of the nature of semi-formal
receptions and present a delightful opportunity for welcoming friends
to the new home, and at same time arranging a visiting list for the
season, no one receiving a card to these entertainments that is not to
be honored with a place thereon. These invitations are to be sent out
after the return from the bridal tour, and, when thus used, the
first-given "At Home" card is omitted in sending out the wedding
invitation.

If the wedding is to be a morning affair from the church, followed by
a breakfast, the first given invitation is issued and the following
engraved card enclosed in the same envelope: MR. and MRS. RICHARD
EARLE request the pleasure of your company at breakfast, Tuesday, June
twentieth, at half past twelve o'clock. 107 Washington Street.

"At Home" cards and cards to the church should be enclosed as before.
The time should be carefully arranged so that not more than half an
hour is allowed to elapse between the ceremony at t
