Found this online...
'No. A divorced woman should use Ms. as she is no longer 'Mrs. John Doe''

But 3 lines down it says..

'Emily Post's book of Etiquette says, a married woman uses her husbands first and last name after the honourific Mrs.
Mrs. John Smith or Mrs. J.Smith
A divorced woman who continues to use her ex-husbands last name is still entitled to the honourific Mrs. but uses her own first name

Mrs. Mary Smith or Mrs. M. Smith'




It begins... i'm commenting on my own posts lol.



so we learned nothing!!!!!!!!!! THANKS EMILY POST! LOL

Ms.



This is what I would think and would want. ugh.. This is what I get when I ask people what they would like.



Adriana, my parents are divorced and my mom still uses my dad's last name so on my invite it says Ms. ... if mom is a widow, it should it be Mrs.
