Dear Queenie,
Our daughter is getting married next year and we sent all our rlatives and friends a “save the date” card for the wedding. Unfortunately, one of our married friends died suddenly a couple of weeks ago.
Queenie, should we still send his widow an invitation while she is still in mourning?—Mother of the bride
Dear Mother,
Yes, by all means send the invitation, but include in it a message of condolences on her loss. Let it be her decision whether to attend, and do not be offended if she does not.
