I recently sent out invitations and I had put my friend and his long term girlfriend on the invitation. I was unaware they broke up and he send back the invitation with his new girlfriend on it. We only gave people in long term relationships and those who are married plus ones and they have been dating only for a few months. Since I already accounted for 2 people should I let it go or find a way to tell him his new girlfriend isn’t invited?

Invitations are not transferable, so what he did was not appropriate. While some here will tell you that any couple that considers themselves to be past the dating stage should be invited regardless of the amount of time they have been together and that it's not up to you to determine the seriousness of their relationship, a brand new couple can be a gray area in terms of etiquette. I understand wanting to be fair to other guests, too. That said, you might want to just let this one go.

He shouldn’t have done that, but I would probably just let it go at this point since it won’t affect your guest count. But I’m just saying that as someone who wouldn’t want to risk upsetting my friend this close to the wedding.

If they've been dating for months, it's clearly not a new relationship. I would allow her to come.
