Question: How do I address this invitation?

Hello,

My Uncle and his wife (who I was never a fan of) divorced several years ago. Their children, my cousins, live with their mother. I am not inviting my ex-Aunt to the wedding, so do I send the invitation to my Uncle and include the children's names on the inner envelope, send each child their own inviation at their mother's house, or what? 

Thanks for the input!

    The ones living at home range from 12-16.

    Hm I don't know how close you and the ex aunt were, but I feel like she wouldn't expect an invite anyway since they are divorced. I'd say address the invite to the dad and children, it might be rude to send it to the ex's house and only be meant for the children.

    If they are invited with their dad, I would address his invite with his children included. With children that age, hopefully the divorced couple can communicate enough to have the children available for that day.

    IMO, sending something to the kids at their mom's house without an invite for her wouldn't go over very well (at least in our circle), even if she's not expecting an invite.

    ditto PPs - if they were adult children still living at home it would be more complicated, but since they're under 18 they're kind of like guests of your uncle, KWIM?  You can include them on his invitation.
