I have had two people in my life pass away recently but their spouses are still alive. When the invitations went out, they were all alive. Do I now take them off the RSVP list or keep them on? What is the etiquette for that?

I don’t know what the etiquette is but I would take them off the RSVP list ASAP. I couldn’t imagine losing a loved one and then having to RSVP “no” for on their behalf because it’s an option. That sounds heartbreaking

Yes I agree with PP. it is understood they will not be there. I’m sorry for your loss.

You would take them off since they are unable to attend.

Is there a way to just keep their name on but take the one who passed off? My uncle passed away about 2 weeks ago but I’ve kept my aunt’s name on.

Take them off, list only the surviver spouse or family.

Definitely take them off. One of my best friends passed away a month after we were engaged. So I’m absolutely not sending her husband (who I consider my “brother”) an invitation/rsvp with her name on it. That would be horrible!

Regardless of what the etiquette says, I cant imagine why a deceased persons name would be left on the RSVP. Personally, I would just include the living persons name on there and if you havent already reached out to them to give your condolences, write a little note in there with your invite.
