AHAHA that's so fucking great but those online dates don't DESERVE the beautiful cordial notes. Maybe like ... An Applebee's coupon or something.
I love those weird frilly notes from back then, honestly. Even earlier than that, mourning stationary! American capitalism started early and mourning became a business, with mourning spoons, stationary, rings, ribbons, etc etc etc. It was like a Disney gift shop.
If there's a safe enough thrift or antique store near you, you can find inexpensive cards there usually. I've found all kinds of bizarre and lovely stationary, postcards, regular cards, et cetera that way that I'm currently hoarding like a dragon for the right occasion.
