Awkward invite...to send or not?

So I have an invite addressed to my best friend's grandma and grandpa with a reply card that says 2 seats have been reserved for them. I get a text from my best friend (MOH) this morning that her  grandma passed away. The invites were already addressed and it is addressed to both of them with the reply card for two. In the next few days people are going to be sending in symphathy cards to her grandpa and I don't want that awkward moment of him getting a card to both of them and its a wedding invite for both of them. I seriously don't think I should send the invite.

    I personally don't think you should. I think you should tell your bestfriend that her Grandad is invited and tell her you didn't want to send the invite. Especially with it being addressed to them both.

    Is there any was to just re-address the envelope to just him, but you may want to wait at least a week or so to send it to him.

    My vote is no. I would verbally communicate to your MOH that her grandfather is invited.

    I sent out the invites and I did not send the one to her grandparents house, I agree to just let her know that her grandpa is invited.
