"We know nice little old ladies with tastes similar to hers." The store was organlted to raise money for a retreat : How to Avoid "We dding Bill Blues" By GERALD 8. 6NYDEB United Press International New York - IUPII - Memo to the father of the bride: Is that list of bills facing you beginning to look like this? Wedding gown, $125; bridesmaid's gown, 40; moth er's dress, $80; trousseau, S387; ceremony and reception, 900. If this is the way your list looks (with many more items yet to be figured), take heart' There are "package deals" to save you time, money and lots of other problems. Mrs. Alexandra S. Potts, the bridal consultant and re search analyst who supplied this "average" list, explained that the growing trend today is toward small specialty shops and separate depart ments in large stores that supply everything for the wedding day in neatly-tied packages costing from $500 to $3,000, and up. Is Authority Mrs. Potts has been In the bridal field since 1931 and today is editor in chief of Modern Bride magazine. She said that thousands of spe cialty shops have developed tie-ins with the baker, florist, photographer and jeweler. Secretaries, technicians, and college graduates all have be gun to lean on these package deals for a formal wedding with all the trimmings. "Some concerns even will throw in a limousine for a wedding costing as low as S50G," Mrs. Potts said. "There are more girls to day who have the possibility of being a formal bride than ever in the history of the country," said Mrs. Potts. "Twenty five years ago, this was for just a few." Costs Increase But getting wed gets In creasingly costly, she said. Counting all costs, from the engagement ring and wedding day necessities to the honey moon and furniture for the first home, a young couple (with Dad's help) may expect to spend over $5,000 - an increase of some 35 per cent in the past eight years, she said. The most fussed-over item? The wedding gown. Mrs. Potts said that propor tionately the working girl will spend more on her wed ding dress than a society gir). "This is your day," the family says - and Dad often will go into debt to prove it, Mrs. Potts said. The working girl who spends hundreds of dollars for a wedding dress is not ac customed to going to parties every day of the year, she said. "This is the big event and she must have the best. Employed Spend More "In the case of the society bride, most of the money is spent on the trimmings the reception, the flowers, the photographs," Mrs. Potts said. "A society girl may spend $5,000 to $10,000 on a wedding but she s apt to spend only $250 on the wed ding dress itself." A veil with heirloom lace that's been in the family for generations usually will be used by the society girl on her big day, she said. Mrs. Potts said that in these days of high spiraling costs, the man and girl often pool resources to pay the "overall cost of getting mar ried." "It's not the thing to do," she said, "but in some in stances new customs have arisen and this has become quite a trend with some peo ple." Mrs. Potts listed these oth er costs apart from the wed ding itself: Major appliances, $1,021; living room furniture, $453: dining room furniture, $256; bedroom furniture, $419; Townsend Club Picnic Planned A picnic luncheon is plan ned by Mt. P.ltt chapter of the Townsend club Sunday, May 26 at 1 p.m., in Haw thorne park. Those) who at tend should take food con tributions and table service. The group is seeking a hall which would be available for evening meetings two nights a month, it has been an nounced. Earl Barnes is club president. floor coverings $211; linens and blankets, $249 and honey moon $447. "You have to use a barom eter to judge the rise in costs." Mrs. Potts said. "More things are manufactured to day. People are earning more. And the standard of living is higher." "This," she smiled, "Is America." Altar Society Elects Mrs. Frank Gritsch Jr. was elected president of St. Anne's Altar society during an an nual tea held recently in the home of Mrs. Paul Haviland. Mrs. R. A. Naumes was co hostess for the event which honored past presidents of the society.
