Couple has broken up since Save the Date

Gabby, on September 5, 2023 at 10:01 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Hi everyone, I am hoping you can give me your recommendation for this situation.


I have two friends that had been dating for a while (yes, both are individual friends of mine, though the girl and I are much closer). When I sent the save the dates, they were still together so I addressed the invite to both of them. Since then, they have broken up and I have gotten very distant from her ex-boyfriend.


I am sending invitations now, should I omit the ex-boyfriend's name from the invite even though he was originally on the save the date? I could invite him separately, but like I said, we are very distant now. I am just hesitating on the etiquette since he was addressed on the save the date.


As far as my friend's relationship with her ex, it's not horrible (she doesn't scoff at the idea of seeing him). So I feel like if I were to ask her opinion, she would want me to do whatever I want.


Thank you.

    Yes , take his name off of her invite. IF you were going to extend the invite to him too since he was included on the save the date, you would do that via his own personal invitation. Including his name on HER invite however would look like an oversight or insensitive.

    There’s no need to include him. My husband had a friend separate from his GF of 5 years shortly after our STDs went out. We sent them a year out bc everyone would have to travel. He started “seeing” someone else a few months before our wedding. Since all our other friends were in relationships and bringing their spouses we let him bring her

    Send her an invitation without his name listed.

    I agree with others. I don’t think you need to invite the male friend, unless you really want him there. Invite your girlfriend and that is good enough.
