Help! Invite Address Question

[labbielove]

Ok, we''re finalizing the invite list so hopefully someone''s on that can help.

My aunt is widowed, so according to Crane''s I should still use Mrs. Betty Name

but, she''s also living with someone, so do I still use Mrs. Betty Name and Mr. Bob Othername

I think that''s technically correct, but sort of odd, wonder if he''d get miffed seeing her as Mrs. Oldname still

My other option is to use Ms.

(have i flipped out that I even care or think anyone will notice?)

thanks

I think the key here is what does SHE go by? If she goes by her old name, use it. If not, use whatever name she is going by socially.

Hope that helps!

She definitely goes by Betty Oldname,
just not sure if she uses Ms. or Mrs.

I think I''m going to use Mrs.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I doubt her live in love will be offended since she goes by that name anyway.
