Hi ladies, I'm working on our invitations and I was wondering if anyone knew the proper etiquette for these situations:
How do we handle multiple guests under 1 roof? For example my 3 almost adult cousins to be invited with guests, that live with their parents (my aunt and uncle)... Can we do 1 invitation for the whole family, or should we break it up one for adults one for cousins, or does each guest need their own? I feel it is a little wasteful to send 4 invitations to 1 house, but if that's what etiquette dictates then that's what we will do.
2. Our siblings takes up over half the wedding party. FH has 4 siblings all in the wedding plus their guests, along with his parents. I also have 2 siblings in the wedding all living together with my parents.. Since they are in the wedding should they get their own invite or can we send one to the siblings and one to the parents?
So confused about these things!! Thanks so much!!! Any advice is welcome

we are sending multiples to all addresses, so that each is only 2 guests.
the only ones we arent sending are kids- who are all in the wedding (6)

Invitation etiquette
We are sending one invitation for each invitee over 18 years old and their respective guest. So cousins in the same house will be getting their own invitations. I agree that it is annoying and wasteful, but I know as an adult I would want my own invitation and not be listed on the same one as my brother.

I am doing this also. I am considering 18 and over as adults and each are getting their own invitation. I am not inviting children to the wedding beyond my wedding party, and for those invitations I will address them to the entire family because their children are young like 10 and under.

I am doing this as well. I have the same issue with adult cousins living with their parents and from the wedding books I consulted, they suggested sending an invite to everyone over 18, even if living in their parent's house, regardless of whether they are getting a guest or not. I have one cousin who is 16 and he is going on the invite with his parents. Hope that helps.
