At my chapter in California, the delta zetas that attend the wedding purchase one tea cup and saucer (with pink roses on it) and present it to the bride at her wedding. Often the women sing a DZ song at the same time the tea cup is given. Then we take a DZ photo with the bride.
The tea cup thing is an old tradition at our chapter. It used to be that when a woman got engaged the woman was responsible for buying a tea cup and giving it to the chapter to be placed in the china cabinent. Then when the married ladies would return to the house for alumna teas, they would be able to use their tea cup (if they could still identify it). well the house started to get too many tea cups so the tradition changed and now the tea cup is bought for the bride and she keeps it, whith the intention that she is supposed to bring it with her to alumna teas.
