Crap, they broke up.

I found out in the past week that three of our friends have broken up with their long-term SOs. I was looking through our invitations last night before popping them in the mail this weekend, and all of those people's SOs are listed on their invitations. Do I address new ones? I don't want to seem insensitive by keeping them on there, or rude by uninviting them if they happen to get back together (not unusual for one couple). Suggestions?

    Since they are currently apart at the time that your invitations go out, I would address them separately.  If they get back together, that's great but if not, I think it would be awkward to receive an invitation with me and my ex's name on it.....

    Wow, that is a problem! i say re-address them, but be sure to mention to said friend, in the most compassionate way possible, that they are happy to bring their ex if they happen to get back together. That statement may anger people, so just tread with caution.

    If you do decide to send it with the both of them on there and someone seems irritated, just lie and say you'd sent the invitation before you found out.

    If your friends did not call and tell you about the break ups, send the invitations as is.  Circumstances change, sometimes very quickly, and it could be much more awkward to receive an invitation without the SO's name -- if there had been a reconciliation -- than to receive an invitation with both names after a break up.
