To ask or not to ask

My hubby & I are planning on inviting a bunch of old coworkers to our wedding. We met at work so that’s why we kinda want to bring everyone back together again. I have everyone’s addresses for most part. This one woman we plan to invite recently found out she has cancer and is in the middle of surgeries. Her health is not in good shape and I feel like I don’t want to bother her now asking for her address. I’m about to get save the dates printed in next few weeks along with addresses labels so I don’t have to hand address them. Would you hold off on asking her or ask her anyway? I want to be considerate and understanding

I would ask to see if any of the other people in the group of old coworkers have her address. If not, I would just reach out saying how you know she has a lot going on but you'd love to send her a save the date for your wedding and need her mailing address to do so.

I would ask other coworkers & see if they have her address, or maybe hand deliver it if you see her at work ever? You could always text or email her, I don't think it would add that much stress because she isn't forced to answer right away.

I agree with the PPs I think it would be nice to give her an invite anyway just being sure to word it considerately

Even if she's unable to attend, I think inviting her would still be a touching gesture!

I would get the address and send the invites. If I were in her situation I'd like something else to think about rather than my health issues.

I'm sure she won't feel you're bothering her, but if you're really concerned about it, hand deliver it to her with a small care package.
