Addressing divorced and single older women

Do I put 'MS'? I looked up the etiquette rules ont his and they say for divorced people, you should use 'MRS' but I feel weird about doing that b/c they arent a MRS anymore. Tips??

You can't really go wrong with Ms. IMO.

I used Ms. for mine. I only used Mrs. for widows. Hope this helps!

I'm divorced from my previous marriage and I don't think I would want to be addressed as 'Mrs' until I marry FH. I would think some people might take offense. I would play it safe with 'Ms'.

I have an issue with this because my parents just got officially divorced last year (they have been separated since i was 12 though).

I feel kinda awkward putting 'Ms.' on my mother's invitation because I don't know how she would feel, but I also don't want to put 'Mrs.' because she isn't anymore. Also she isn't changing her last name - it's still going to be my father's last name. So confusing

As far as the older single ladies, I think I am going to put 'Ms.' just cuz when I hear the word 'Miss' I think of someone younger.

EDIT: also for those that are widowed I am going to be putting 'Mrs.'
