When the host and hostess receive together, a man should leave one card for both, and, if not present at the reception, he should send two cards. WEDDING RECEPTION. If a man has been invited to the church but not the wedding reception, he should leave or mail a card to the bride's parents, and also to the bridal couple. STYLE. The full name should be used, and if too long, the initials only. The club address is put in the lower left-hand corner, and if not living at a club, the home address should be in lower right-hand corner. In the absence of a title, Mr. is always used on an engraved but not a written card. Cards should be engraved in plain letter, according to prevailing fashion. |
