Recently Divorced Godparents

My aunt and uncle have lived nearby throughout my childhood and been an influential part of my upbringing.  However, they have recently gotten divorced, and are not on great terms.  I would like to invite them both, especially because they are my Godparents and we are getting married in the Catholic Church, but I am afraid that this could create some drama.  My mom thinks that if I do not give them both an "And Guest" (i.e. a date), my uncle may not come.  If I do, she feels my uncle will bring his new girlfriend, and my aunt will not bring a date.  I am closer with my aunt (who is the blood relative), and I do not want her to have a bad experience at the wedding.  However, I also do not want to exclude my uncle or make him feel unwelcome.  I was thinking I would just invite both of them without an "And Guest," to avoid unnecessary drama, but I am inviting most of the other single adults with a guest.  Is there a proper way to go about this?  Help!
