Etiquette and Those in Mourning

Of course, people in deep mourning are not invited to dinners or luncheon.


Should You Send Invitations to Those in Mourning?

A not unnatural hesitancy is experienced by many people about sending invitations to those who are in mourning. Of course, one would not send invitations within a week or two after a death, and people in deep mourning are not invited to dinners or luncheons. But cards for weddings and large entertainments should be sent. They serve as a token of kindly remembrance and compliment, and it will be appreciated as such.– San Diego Daily Bee, 1887
