90 Is it necessary to give the
maid Of honor and bridesmaid a
gift in addition to the bouquet? II

ceive announcements? J. s.
IVES, although usually the bride
Il and groom have only one at
tendant each. However, there is
no reason why there should not
be a bridesmaid. IL the bride
wishes.
(2) The groom.
ca Usually the family of the
bride or the bride herself. The
bouquets are usually planned to
''go with" the costumes of the att
tendants, and therefore it is more
convenient for the bride to plan
for them and to send them. How
ever, sometimes, the groom sends
them.
90 Usually the bride gives her
attendants gifts commemorative of
the OCCASION: a piece Of jewelry
bracelets are much given this

pen. a vanity case, a purse, or
some other gift that is personal.
