I sent out save-the-dates for our destination wedding a few months ago, and now it's coming time to send the invitations. My college roomie (who lives about 1000 miles from me now) has let me know that she anticipates being 8 months pregnant at the time of the wedding and will not be in attendance. I was of course super-excited for her and told her so, reassuring her not to worry about the wedding.
I'm still planning on sending her an invite, but it seems weird to not include a note acknowledging that she's already declined. If it were for any other reason, I would tuck in a note that said something like "Just in case your plans for the day change!" but clearly, under the circumstances that would not do. Any other suggestions for a gracefully worded way to say "I can't wait to hear about her new baby, I understand she won't be there, but here's an invitation anyway!"
