No, the time when they had waltzes and such (the women with a card to list the men that they would share a dance with) and party games that everyone would participate in together (guessing games and such) and all that kind of thing. If one wants to get really old fashioned, a servant announces the entry of each guest.
The British royal family still have parties like that. Names do get mentioned in the court circular section of the newspaper, the telegraph (really old fashioned) and the times carry it Get yourself in with the royals?
Do you have connexions? My mum once got to meet Charlie back in the 70s I think. He was on some kind of ceremonial thing in the US or something and she was amongst a group that would receive him. Anyhow, I like proper but not that proper. Just rich enough to have maybe 3 or 4 servants.
