18+ Y.O. living at home Invitations

Following - I'm in the same boat. Want to make sure I do it right!

I don't think it's silly, but many do. I'm sending everyone over 18 their own invitation.

@AllieCat @GoldFisch it's so tricky!! I'm completely stuck here >.<

@RealLindseyO I might just do that as well. I guess that way they also get a plus one if they want and I don't want them to feel like they're still a child because they live at home.

I'm sending their own invites since they're old enough to have a plus one

I just sent one invitation per household and made it to "John and Jane Doe & family" or I did "Doe Family"

I would send them each individually. When me and my younger brother still "lived" at home (I moved away but still received mail at my moms house), we each got individual invites for a cousins wedding. My mom thought it was excessive and complained, but I appreciated receiving my own.

I sent invitation separate and got 1 RSVP back with everyone in the family on it. So I spent extra money unnecessarily. And you know all those invites end up in the trash. If I was doing it again I would send 1 invite per household.

My mom and I had this argument. Etiquette is multiple but I ended up just sending one. My mom thought it was excessive to give them multiple. Now, if the adult child has moved out and you don't have their current address, then you need to get it or send separate to parents address. My friend had this situation happen to her for another wedding and was really offended. (She lives out of state from her parents and is 25)

I would send one invite to the family and include the adult.

I think this is stupid. I have a few guests that I've extended invites to their children as well. These children are fairly recent high school graduates that still live at home (18-20 years old). I'm not wasting an extra invitation. The will be invited as a family and included on their parents invitation. Shame on me.

If you're giving them plus-ones it seems easier to send them each individually. an invite just to the "Smith family" won't convey that.

I sent three to one household. No one said anything about it. But, I also was allowing them to bring a guest if they wanted, and it was just clearer that way.

Honestly, if they were single, I addressed 1 to the household. If they had a SO, I gave them a separate invitation.

If there are multiple adult children living in the same household, I sent one invitation to the parents, and one invitation for all the adult children combined.

I lived at home as an adult and never received my own wedding invitations. I hated it. I understand that sending multiples may seem redundant, silly or like a waste but it also is nice to make sure each party knows they are specifically invited and whether or not they are allowed a +1. There is also the possibility that it may slip the parents mind to mention that the invitation came. Why risk it? The thing that irritated me most about my situation was the +1 thing.. if people don't want to shell out for everyone to bring +1s, then that's there prerogative - but not knowing if you can bring one is awkward and makes the whole thing feel like it wasn't planned out well. Of course you know your situation better than anyone else and you're more equipped to make the right call. Good luck!

UO: I have a hard time considering an 18-year-old an adult. I'd just send one invite.

I also know our family would be super confused if they got multiple invites to the same house.

Handclap for you Lucille.

I live far away from my parents and have often been grouped into their invite. Even when I lived at home it is just too confusing - who is actually invited? Do I get to bring my fiancé? Send separate invites or write on the envelope EXACTLY who is invited - list them out
