Friends of a bridegroom who are unacquainted with the bride’s family send their wedding presents to him, and he forwards them to the bride’s mother, so that they may be on view with the other presents on the wedding day.
An engaged girl should write to her personal friends to tell them the news, while her mother writes to older relatives and friends.
Letters of congratulation in answer to these should be written as soon as possible. Young girls do not write to their men friends to congratulate them on an engagement. They either congratulate them personally or not at all.
It is considered extremely bad form for engaged couples to be too demonstrative in public. They should try to be as natural and unaffected as possible, so as to avoid causing embarrassment to others.
The engagement ring should always be worn once it has been placed in position. It is useful as a friendly warning to any unwary and over susceptible admirers.
Those who invite engaged couples to their houses should make a point of sending them down to dinner together and of doing all in their power to show that they recognize and approve of the engagement.
A girl may dance practically as often as she pleases with her fiance, although, of course, she will do well not to forget entirely all her old friends in this respect.
It is the girl’s privilege to ask any friends she likes to act as her bride’s maids, but it is an understood thing that some relative of the bridegroom shall be among the number.
