WEDDING OUTFITS
Dear Mrs. Post: I am planning a Florida wedding but I live in New York. The bridesmaids’ dresses will be selected here and mailed to each girl in Florida. How should I inform them of the cost in a tactful manner? — Miss F. Lawrence
Dear Miss Lawrence: It has always been the obligation of bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses, so there is no need for pussy-footing. Enclose a note with each dress saying you have paid the store and the cost was so much, or ask the store to send bills directly to the girls. — Elizabeth Post, 1967
