Name misspelled on invitation

To my horror, I just realized that I misspelled a guest's name on the invitation that has already been mailed to her (along the lines of "Sarah" when it's actually "Sara"). I feel terrible about this mistake! Should I reach out to her to apologize or just let it go and hope she is not too offended? I will, of course, be sure to have the correct spelling for her seat and thank you note when the time comes. TIA for your perspective and suggestions.

    I'd reach out to her if you have her email or even over social media.    Say, "I'm so sorry for that mistake!" 

    Things happen.  IMO, this is an easily understood oversight vs. something like a passive aggressive person who refuses to acknowledge that a married woman did not choose to change her last name.  I commend you for even thinking about it!

     I'd just reach out however you normally communicate with her and give a quick apology. Stuff like this happens a lot more than you think.
