A widow on the invite ?? Should it be Mrs. Jane Doe or Ms. Jane Doe ? This is a woman I use to work with whom I'm still very good friends with, her husband passed away about 2 years ago. TIA

When addressing an invitation to a widow, send it using her husband's name, such as Mrs. George Cunningham. The inside envelope would be addressed to Mrs. Cunningham.

We did Mrs. John Doe. I think etiquette said that if you're a widow, you are addressed as Mrs. John Doe, but if you're separated or divorced, you are Ms. Jane Doe. But I don't see why Mrs. Jane Doe wouldn't work, either...

definitely Mrs.
My grandmother has been widowed for YEARS and she is still Mrs...some do Mrs. Gordon Cote and some Mrs. Ruth Cote, I think either is fine.

where did you hear that? IMO, that is very inappropriate.
imagine if your husband was God forbid dead and someone invited you that way.
