Another lovely invitation dilemma
Sooooo here is another crappy situation!! Why can't everyone just stay dating!! lol
So Marcus = groomsman
Marcus was dating Kirstie (for like 3 years or more)
Paula = Friend & ex-coworker of FI
Paula = Kirstie's mom
Our invite list was
Marcus & Kirstie
Mr. & Mrs. Paula's Husband + their son (so basically Kirstie's whole family)
Now Kirstie and Marcus are no longer dating. So she would be dropped from Marcus's invite. However her parents and brother are still invited. We were really only inviting the brother to not leave him as the only one not invited (I think he is a freshman maybe?). So now we're stuck with the wondering do we still invite Kirstie and attach her to her parents? Not invite her at all? Drop her brother from Mr & Mrs. Paula's Husband even though he was listed on the STD envelope?
I do not know the story behind the break up. And they have been broken off for like two weeks now. I realize they could get back together but unless they do it before I have to send out invites in a week and a half I have to make a decision

The problem with and family is it's ambiguous. You may wind up with uninvited guests because of who people consider "family".
I had this same issue with my family. Aunt, Uncle and 3 cousins (all over 18) all live in the same home. I think I am sending ONE invitation labeled Mr and Mrs and Family and inserting an extra RSVP card for the kids. I am close with them, so I am just going to give them a heads up. I think it's pointless to send 3 whole invitations! They will most likely be trashed right away and I could use them to send to other guests.
