invite question

My FI's coworker/friend is going through a divorce but still lives with his wife.  To my understanding, they are not trying to reconcile, but live together until their house sells or their child graduates or something.  We're not sending out our invites for about two months, but the chances of them still living together are high.  So, would I address it to Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith OR Mr. Joe Smith and guest.  He told my FI the latter, but I think it is rude to send an invite to their house with just his name on it.  I thought maybe I could send it their work instead. What is the etiquette on this? TIA.

Re: invite question

  • Since you already asked and he told you, I don't see what the problem is. Clearly he and his wife are no longer together; just working out finances or logistics or whatever their specific issue is. Send it to his house as he asked for it to be sent:

    Mr. John Smith and Guest

    I would do as he asked as well.

  • If they are divorcing, they are not a couple. Many people have to live together during a divorce because they can't sell the house, but the marriage is over (and they may even be dating other people). So send the invite to Mr. X & guest.
