Is it permissible for mourners, after the seven days of mourning, within thirty days of the passing, to participate in the joy of a Brit Milah?

They may participate in the Brit Milah, but they are prohibited from eating there, and even at a separate table it is forbidden, according to the Ashkenazi custom of not eating at a mitzvah meal outside the home.
