Do guests over 18 but living with their parents receive a seperate invite?

Yes, everyone over 18 receives their own invitation.

It's proper etiquette to send them a separate invite. I didn't though. Honestly my cousins that age wouldn't have even sent an rsvp back. I only sent a separate invite if they didn't live with their parents. No one seemed to mind. In my opinion it's up to you if you want to send out separate invites.

Yes, if they're over 18, they're an adult and get their own invitation.

Thanks for the personal & honest answer Kristen! That helps a lot since that's the route I've been leaning towards.

Uh ok, cool. Only acknowledge the person who agreed with you (even though they were incorrect).

As mentioned, it is technically proper etiquette to send everyone over 18 their own invitation. That being said, I probably won't be sending 3 invitations to one house for my cousins and aunt and uncle. They wouldn't send back an RSVP on their own, much less be offended that they didn't get their own. Of course I'm sending invitations to those who don't still live at home, regardless of age.

Lindsay O- annoying. I acknowledged her because she shared her personal experience and gave an anecdote. I didn't think saying "no, everyone over 18 gets an invite" warranted a heartfelt response but I appreciate the input?

Are you calling me annoying? Generally you could say "ok thanks for the input". Nothing too heartfelt necessary.

Dani D- right, it'd be strange to send an invite to a place someone didn't live anymore haha! I think that makes sense, but there are definitely some cases where the guest lives at home but i would still send them an invitation, like if they're older, if I'm inviting their significant other, but if it's just a newly 18 relative, I'm leaning towards keeping it on one invite like you did! Thanks (:

@lindsay o- ok thanks for the input...

I didn't think I needed to outline that I actually followed etiquette and sent my 19 year old cousin who lives with his parents his own invitation and my 26 year old brother who lives with our parents his own invitation to prove I had personal experience with the situation, but now I guess you have that side of it, too?

The 19 year old has a girlfriend who needed to be named on his invitation, too. It was much easier to separate them onto their own invitation than to fit the names of the parents, the other adult couple, and the underage children on there.

Annoying.

@ c.c You're welcome!

@bluehenbride I didn't mean you had to share personal experience haha, I seriously do appreciate the input!

And that's a good point. If they have a SO invited, they would need their own invite anyways. But then where do you draw the line with that, right? I think most of my 18+ guests living at home will get their own invite, with a few specific cases I might keep them on the same invite as their parents.

It just really seemed that by saying Kristen's answer was honest, you were implying that Lindsey and I had given you dishonest answers. I took that as a dig, just like she did.

The line you're supposed to draw with it is that if they're over 18, they get their own invite. I'm curious, though, what would make you think one adult should get their own invitation and another adult shouldn't?

I definitely agree that it's easier to send a separate invitation if you're inviting couples or someone significantly older. Or even if you know the 18 year old is the type of person who would really appreciate getting their own. In my opinion, this is more of a guest-by-guest basis.

I have several weird invitation circumstances. Like FH's cousins that are away at college, but still "live at home". His aunt didn't even want to bother giving us the school addresses since they'll be back at home by the time invitations get there. Or his cousin that is getting married, but lives at home (him and his FW aren't living together until they get married). They aren't necessarily hard decisions. Just a little more than "black and white".

@BlueHen I know that question wasn't necessarily directed at me, but the line in which I draw between which adult gets their own invitation is if I know their parents will need to RSVP for them, or if they'll be responsible enough to do it themselves. I know my family well enough, and have watched them in identical situations, to know which invitations are going get lost in a pile of teenage boy socks without another thought, and which invitations will actually get use of of the RSVP cards. Not all 18 year olds can function as adults.

I said she shared a personal anecdote so I felt like I should respond!

And here's an example of who I would put on their parents invitation: cousin is 18, still in high school, still lives at home, no plus one, whole family is invited.

Who I would give an individual invitation to: family friend who is also 18 and lives at home, his dad is invited with a plus one, and he is also invited with a plus one. They will each get their own invite.

@Dani D Exactly! If they are a functioning adult who just happens to live at home, by all means they will get their own invite. If they are for all intensive purposes still a child, but happen to be barely legal, it seems appropriate to put them on their parents invite.

I hate to be that person, but it is "intents and purposes", not "intensive purposes".

Also, anyone over 18 gets their own invite. Period.
