Invitation sent to couple now separated

So I sent out a group of invitations last night. Included was a couple of whom I knew one person better than the other, so I sent an invite addressed to both of them. They had discussed the date a couple weeks ago and were planning to attend. Today I found out they broke up two weeks ago...he chose not to publicize it. Do I give an apology or let it slide and not mention it?

    You sent the invitation to the guy in the relationship that you knew better, correct?  I would probably send him a private email or FB message saying you are sorry to hear about the break up.  And (as long as ok with you), he can bring whoever else he wants to the wedding instead of ex-gf.  He didn't publicize it, so you didn't do anything wrong.
  • If you found out through gossip you should probably let it slide. Don't bring it up unless he told you himself. That's just asking for drama. If he brings it up tell him to bring whoever.
