Family invite help

How do I invite my aunt/uncle & their family.

Here is the situation, they have :
17 yr. old daughter
22 yr. old daughter
23 yr. old son

They all still live at home. They come to all the functions and always bring their boyfriends/girlfriends.

My parents told me I should invite all of them. I love them to death, but weddings aren't cheap and I have a feeling one or two will back out last minute. How do I swing this!??

Well, who do you really want there?

Etiquette states that anyone over 18 should get their own invite. If you only want to do one invite and not invite your cousins with guests then just print:

Mr. and Mr. Robert Jones
Edward, Anthony and Rebecca Jones

If you want to invite them with guest I'd definitely give a separate invite to each cousin.

I would also have your mother call your aunt and explain the situation that weddings are per plate and there can be no backing out because your cousins got 'a better offer'.

Thanks for the response. So I should send out the separate invite to the older cousins and then put the 17 yr old on the inner envelope with her parents invite? I can't leave her out (and her boyfriend who is 19 also?)
