MODES AND MANNERS
QUESTION: “Does the girl’s full name or just her first name and initial appear in the wedding invitation?—B. J. S.” ANSWER: The bride’s first name and middle name, if she has one, are generally given in the wedding invitation without the surname. The form given below is correct and illustrates how the girl’s name should read: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Carrol request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Ethel Jane to Mr. James Arthur Smith on Friday, the Fourth of February at six o’clock St. Thomas' Church New York.
