Manners and social rules for widows and weddings
A 1920s guidance column answers etiquette questions. A widow may wear her wedding ring until she remarries. Address a widow as Mrs John Brown. Do not ask a woman if she is a widow or a divorcee. A divorced woman should not have an elaborate church wedding with many attendants. A girl marrying a divorced man may have a large church wedding. If a married friend loses her husband, invite her to parties with women only, and also to dinners and evening gatherings as before.
