Figured I'd throw this out and see if anyone knew the definitive answer.
We're not sure how to handle this etiquette issue with regards to our wedding invitations.
One of our guests is divorced, but engaged to a new fiance. She is currently using her married surname (Smith). She will presumably be taking the name of her fiance (Jones) once they are married.
So, do we send the invitation to Mrs. Smith, or Ms. Smith?
Some etiquette sites say that for a divorced woman keeping her married name, it's usually Mrs., but Ms. might be acceptable, but says nothing about if she's engaged to be remarried to a new husband.
If for nothing else than an interesting debate, what's your take? Mrs. or Ms. for a divorced woman keeping her married name, but engaged to a new man?
