venue_ _after the first of August_ _Toronto_ For the card of invitation to the wedding reception the wording is as follows: _Reception_ _immediately after the ceremony_ _Eight Salem Street_ or _Reception_ _immediately after the ceremony_ _in the church parlors_ In the case of a church wedding, it is always well to enclose with the invitation a small card reading: "Please present this card at the church on August the third." In case the wedding takes place in the country and invitations are sent to many friends in the city, a card giving directions as to what train to take, and where, which is to be presented to the conductor instead of a ticket, and which entitles the possessor to special accommodations, is enclosed with the invitation.

Acquaintances purely professional do not receive cards to a wedding. One's physician, however, if his family is prominent socially, may be included among the guests.
