When writing wedding invitations, how do you make it clear on the invitation that one person is invited?

if she doesnt want his wife there dont invite him because it is poor etiquette to invite a married man without inviting his wife family or not, sorry

Married people are a couple. You don't invite one without the other. Sorry! Edit: He's as guilty as she is. I wouldn't invite either one of them.

Sorry, it is in extremely poor taste to invite a person without their spouse.

Ok wait ... If a marriage of 30 YEARS broke up, it's not ONLY because of her. He participated in this as well ... so why is she the only one who's black listed ? HE cheated on his wife, but only the other woman is to blame? Where's the logic in that? NEITHER of them have much respect for family, hon. I wouldn't want either of them there, frankly. Not really ... no. P.S. Husbands and wives are a package deal. It's extremely bad form to invite one without the other. You have two choices: All, or nothing. If he left his wife of 30 years for her and you invite only him, he probably won't show, anyway.

You invite the Uncle, your Aunt (and yes, she's his wife, she's now your Aunt) needs to be invited as well.

If she does not want her there then she needs to woman up and say so in plain english.

lol well, kiss the Uncle goodbye, Hon he will NOT attend since you are deliberatly slapping his new wife in the face etiquette-wise... So in order to avoid drama during the wedding (yeh, sure) you are gonna create YEARS of drama afterwards.....smooth. You address the invite to the Uncle only..on the RSVP card pre-fill out any space for number of guests ( 1 or one) and his name only.....he will either... 1) refuse to come 2) scratch out your fill in and add his own...with her name 3) call you on the phone with a scathing response 4) any combination of the above. Good luck and remember a wedding is NEVER a venue to publicly announce one's personal opinion on the refinement of others....she may be 'crass' but in not inviting her you are being just as crass.

WHAT?! You cant invite a married person and not invite their spouse! You can invite single people as 1 person but not married people. So if she wants your uncle there his wife HAS to be invited too! It has to be "Mr and Mrs (uncle so and so)" NOT just him! They will assume she is invited anyway because HE IS MARRIED TO HER! So either dont invite the uncle or invite both him and his wife. Too bad if she doesnt like his wife. They are married. She is part of your family legally. You could always have a dry wedding (meaning alcohol free). So maybe she wont come if she knows there is no alcohol there or she wont be able to get drunk.

I would make sure that all parts of the invitation are addressed only to your uncle, that includes: The mailing envelope The invitation and; The RSVP card If he RSVPs for two people, then a bridesmaid or the bride's mother should call your uncle and reiterate the bride's wishes. I respect your decision not to want to invite your new aunt, but don't expect your uncle to. He may not attend for this reason. Good luck and Congrats!
