& Guest question...
Finalizing my invite list.Is it ok to pick and choose which one of my younger cousins gets a & guest? Specifically, I have 2 cousins who are 22, one of them who's GF I've met several times, and the other who doesn't have a girlfriend as far as i'm concerned.
I want send a separate invite to the cousin with the GF who i've met with a guest, and the other cousin is getting put on his family's invitation.
Thoughts? I know 22 is considered an 'adult' but I don't want anyone bringing a random person just because they can!
LMK girls, thanks!

I think it is totally fine to pick and choose on that one... One of my cousins is 23 and his brother is a year younger, but the older one is getting a separate invite with a guest and the younger one isn't dating anyone so I put him with his family on an invite... I feel like if they've been dating for like a year and have met the family, then they should be invited but I'm not inviting people with a guest if they've been dating something for like a month

I'm doing the same thing with my cousins who are brother and sister. The sister has a boyfriend so she is getting her own invitation and the brother is part of the family invitation. Your the bride you can do what you lol

It is perfectly fine to pick and choose. If anything, once it gets closer to the date and you can include a friend of his if you have to make your minimum then fine, but for now you have to be number conscious.

I only invited people with guests if they were in relationships - and even then, I never addressed an envelope to '& guest' but put the specific person on there. I had a small wedding and didn't want random people coming just because!! If anyone asked, no one got a 'plus one.'

I think it is ok to invite just one with a guest but I feel anyone over 18 should get their own invitation, especially if you are sending one to the sibling seperate. I am either sending 'family' invitations if the kids are under 18 OR each person over 18 gets their own whether they are invited with a guest or not.ETA: I read this wrong and thought both cousins were from the same family. I think its ok to put the other cousin on the family's invite. I thought it was like they are brothers and you were sending one his own invite and the other on their parents. sorry

I agree with above ^ anyone over 18 will get their own invite, but I would only allow a cousin to bring a guest if they were serious and if they've been introduce to the whole family, come to holidays etc. You don't have to feel bad that you're not giving your one single cousin a +1, since I wouldn't in that case either.
