FOUR WEST THIRTY-SIXTH STREET A card for the reserved enclosure but no especial pew is often inscribed "Within the Ribbons." =INVITATION TO THE HOUSE= The invitation to the breakfast or reception following the church ceremony is engraved on a card to match the paper of the church invitation and is the size of the latter after it is folded for the envelope: Mr. and Mrs. John Huntington Smith request the pleasure of [HW: Mr. & Mrs. James Greatlake's] company on Tuesday the first of November at half after four o'clock at Four West Thirty-sixth Street R.s.v.p. =CEREMONY AND RECEPTION INVITATION IN ONE= Occasionally, especially for a country wedding, the invitation to the breakfast or the reception is added to the one to the ceremony: Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Chatterton request the honour of [HW: Mr. & Mrs. Worldly's] presence at the marriage of their daughter Hester to Mr. James Town, junior on Tuesday the first of June at three o'clock at St. John's Church and afterwards at Sunnylawn Ridgefield R.s.v.p. Or the invitation reads "at twelve o'clock, at St. John's Church, and afterwards at breakfast at Sunnylawn"; but "afterwards to the reception at Sunnylawn" is wrong. =THE INVITATION TO A HOUSE WEDDING= Is precisely the same except that "at Sunnylawn" or "at Four West Thirty-sixth Street" is put in place of "at St. John's Church," and an invitation to stay on at a house, to which the guest is already invited, is not necessary. _The Train Card_ If the wedding is to be in the country, a train card is enclosed: A special train will leave Grand Central Station at 12:45 P.M., arriving at Ridgefield at 2:45. Returning, train will leave Ridgefield at 5:10 P.M., arriving New York at 7.02 P.M. _Show this card at the gate._ =INVITATION TO RECEPTION AND NOT TO CEREMONY= It sometimes happens that the bride prefers none but her family at the ceremony, and a big reception. This plan is chosen where the mother of the bride or other very near relative is an invalid. The ceremony may take place at a bedside, or it may be that the invalid can go down to the drawing-room with only the immediate families, and is unequal to the presence of many people. Under these circumstances the invitations to the breakfast or reception are sent on sheets of note paper like that used for church invitations, but the wording is: Mr. and Mrs. Grantham Jones request the pleasure of your company at the wedding breakfast of their daughter Muriel and Mr. Burlingame Ross, Jr. on Saturday the first of November at one o'clock at Four East Thirty-Eighth Street The favor of an answer is requested
