Invite her because telling the truth, no matter how hard, is always better than trying to fix anything later.
At the same time you need to be like you were when they were little kids... This is what you're getting for dinner and and that's it. No fussing, no tantrums, no shit shows... it's not all about her and her kids, it about you and your extended family (including them!) and if that is not enough for her and her husband so be it... Don't let the door hit you on the way out and by the way, go home and read some of that good book you're living by and try reading some passages you obviously must have missed...

Sounds like you've got some really cool family and they seem to shine bright for you. Let them shine for her if she can see them...

Good luck! have a blast!

To quote my favorite sticker... The dog was barking, they baby was crying, I had to burn it down!
