His experienced help in all details often is next to that of a wedding consultant. It is advisable to check with the caterer even before setting the wedding date, to make sure that he can take care of your party when you wish. A good caterer can give you almost any service you need in connection with your wedding - including moral support! One of the first things to be worked out is the type of wedding and reception you want -anything from tea and cookies to the most elaborate, sitdown meal with champagne, and including cocktails. He can also help you with possible places for the reception, since he is familiar wjth the facilities and equipment, and whether or not the place would be able to serve cocktails or champagne. Then he will work out the menu with you and your mother, down to the last detail. He will personalize the menu, according toyour suggestions and will try to include whatever you think desirable. Wedding cakes are traditionally the centerpiece for the bride's table and can range from sinple ones to elaborate works of art. The caterer will discuss your wishes in regard to the cake and arrange to have it baked and decorated to your taste. The cake, like the menu, should be arranged for early. A caterer will do more than provide the food and drink; he will provide all necessary linen, silver, centerpieces, candelabra, etc. or supplement that which your home or church (if you plan a reception in the church parlor) can provide. He is equipped to cover tables with ^ flounces and decorate them with ribbons in your color scheme. Depending on the formality of your wedding, and the season, he can furnish any type of table cloth from damask to lace to colored linen. He will see that all decorations are ordered and in place. The caterer has the necessary service for tea, coffee, and punch, salad bowls, platters - everything, probably including many little niceties you may not think of. For instance, he can furnish tiny boxes in which guests may take home souvenir pieces of wedding cake - even personalized mints for the buffet table. He can usually order personalized napkins, matchbooks, and other items, too. Sometimes, a church women's guild or circle specializes in serving at receptions. And many churches have an amply supply of china and tableware with which to serve reception guests. In any event - whether you choose a catere r or church group, do plan to have someone take over the food preparation and service - not only on the day of the wedding, but before anct" after - if out-of-town guests will be arriving early and staying on. Not only is it important for the bride to be at her best on her wedding day, but it also is important for the bride's mother to be rested and relaxed. Relieving her of the food preparation and service will do much to accomplish this. * * * vrr . w ^ ^ . * Y©ir Marriage Is Enhanced By The Security Given To II We at Bolger's Drug Store Offer security in the competent service we render.
