We're writing the notice to go in the paper. Most of the wording is straightforward but we can't get one bit right.
We want to say that people don't have to wear black clothes - the close family won't be - but we know some people like Galway would be uncomfortable not doing so. We don't want to force people into bright clothing but can't get it right.
What do we say? Black clothing optional. Mourning clothes not necessary.

They just don't sound right.
