couple split...how to address invite?

Pookieson

I just received word today that we have had several changes in relationship statuses.

One long-term couple split and he moved in with his mother.  They have been seperated for two months.

Next couple was married for 3 years.  We just heard via the gossip vine they JUST broke up (a few days ago, she is staying with her parents).

Couple that just got married less than 3 months ago, she moved back in with her parents over 2 months ago.

Also, we had a death in the family.  How would you address a widowers invitation?

I know, so much has changed!  I already addressed these invitations, so I'd have to change the envelopes, but luckily I got extra

Thanks in advance if it takes me a bit to pop back on here!

My question for you regarding the couples that have split: are you inviting both halves of the couple even if they aren't together?  If you are, send each one an invitation.  If not, send the invitation to one you'd be inviting regardless of the split.

You've got a few weeks before your invitations need to go out, so do a little investigating if you're not 100% sure of the relationship status and/or address.

As for the death in the family situation, address it like you would if the person was single, but I probably wouldn't include a plus one.  That could be a case of rubbing salt in the wound.

I disagree slightly with PP about the widower situation. I would still send him an invitation, but include a note that he is welcome to bring a guest, family member or friend, as he wishes. Of course he may still find a wedding too painful and decline, but I would extend the offer.

Regarding thecouple, no, we would only invite the wife in both couples were they actually split up.
