Inviting a Couple Who is Separating

I have a tricky guest situation I'm not sure how to handle! We plan to send our STDs out next month. There is a couple I have known for 8 years who I planned to invite to the wedding. I got a text from the wife last month that they are separating and she plans on moving out.

I really want to invite both of them to my wedding. I don't even think they'd attend because it's out of state, and money was already tight and I am sure the pending divorce makes things worse. But I would still like to extend the invite. How do I go about this? (I don't think the wife will have moved out by the time STDs go out.)

Good idea about asking for an alternate address! She's out of work right now but that might not be the case by the time we send out STDs. She does have family close by I could perhaps send it to.

What if she says to send it to the house she shares with her soon to be ex husband? Just send 2 separate invitations, one to him and one to her? Invite them both with a plus one? (every one of our guests is invited with a date). Actually that brings me to another question - when sending out STDs to single friends, do you write "Miss Jane Smith and Guest" or just "Miss Jane Smith" and include the "and guest" only on the wedding invitation?

No need to worry about plus-ones for a STD, I don't think.

If she wants it sent to their current house, I'd probably send one to each of them.
