One of the few problems I do see with DB'ing is that we get so set in the process. Myself I worry at times will I be in the process and miss any signs of reconciliation other than my wife hitting with a board saying "I am interested again". Not that it really applies here....from the email I would say that she is passing the invitation along from the friends. So in that case I would go because it seems like you are in the right spot mentally to handle it. Nothing like spending Thanksgiving with friends if there is few other options.
