Multiple invitations to the same household? No thanks!

I say as long as they live there and really haven’t moved out or have a significant other, why not? I mean if you see it fit, just put Mr. and Mrs. and family. Then on the inner envelope put everyone’s name. I’m sure the etiquette god will not strike you down for that one! Really does seem like a huge waste!

Hell no I'm not wasting invitations or stamps on the same household. I most definitely send quite a few invitations for people over 18 to the same place!

Haha yeah I read that too and am definitely not going to follow that rule. I think it would be especially weird for families who have multiple teenagers and it's like "oh well the oldest gets their own invitation, but their sister who's two years younger doesn't..." Sorry but if you still live with your parents you're still a dependent and you all go on the same invite. I don't know anyone besides a bride who would even know that rule so I think the people receiving the invite would just be confused anyway

Yeah I hate that! My FMIL wrote out addresses for her family for me to send invites to... multiple invites to one house? why??? ugh.

Date twins!!!

I am actually following the rule, but not because of etiquette reasons.

All my over 18 cousins are getting guests, so they are getting their own invites with their own RSVPs. It's easier for me to figure out who is really coming and with whom.

Jules, that makes sense! I can see doing it for people with a guest, but luckily (for me anyway) most of my cousins are single.

Yeah I'm not doing that for some cases either. I have 20 year old cousins who are triplets, plus their 18 year old sister. I'm not sending 5 invitations to one house... that's absurd.

Thats what I'm doing!!! and probably hand delivering a few too!

I sent 3 invites to the same household, 1 for my aunt and uncle, 1 for my cousin and his date, and 1 for my other cousin and her date. Sent them to the same household since I wasn't sure where they were living, but knew that my aunt would forward them onto them.

@ Rev Fuller so true. Heck my invitation packets were 66¢ a stamp to mail plus the 46¢ to return the RSVP so on top of the purchase price to make said invitations we spent $1.12 each for postage so @ Emily, I did the same exact thing. Haven't been dragged off to Ettiquette prison yet so have at it! lol

Roe, I wonder what etiquette prison would be like?

"Dear Rocky,

Thank you for your generous gift of a carton of smokes. I will certainly enjoy using them or trading them for protection. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the rec yard tomorrow!

Sincerely,

Bubba."

Unless there is a plus one for someone I don't see why you need to..imo I'd find it a bit obnoxious to get 3 invitations sent to my house lol.

I did the same thing! Couldn't bring myself to spend the money and time for three separate invites to one house (I hand made the invites). If it were me I would feel bombarded with invitations and like I was getting spam!

Considering that these are people you are related to, I don't think you have to be as concerned about "Etiquette"...They all know you are getting married, when, and where, and I am sure they wouldn't miss it for the world (whether you formally invited them or not)...Unless you are going to have someone at the door clocking invitations (which some people do when they don't think they are going to be able to feed everyone), then you're good.

ROFLMBO!! @ Bubba, I mean Emily

I agree with those who have said they would feel it would be too much. I'd feel attacked by invitations! lol

Yes we will be but because we want each to have their own to keep. Some are roommates so I feel they need each one. The others are FH brother/Sister and I want each one to have their own.
