question about addressing invitations for families with children over and under 18

I have a couple of cousins who live at home who are over 18. But they both have brothers and sisters who are under 18. How do I address the invitations. Do i take out the cousin over 18 and give him his own and then address the other invitation to Mr & Mrs Smith & Family to include my underage cousin?

I think the rule is anyone over 18 gets their own invitation, but I didn't follow it.

i really don't think it's necessary to send a separate invite... unless you are inviting them with a guest and then they would need their own invite, but if not and you are inviting them with their family whats the point of sending two invites to the same house? i would just do mr and mrs and family

Agreed! Don't stress yourself over this

This is my personal opinion also, I didn't send separate invitations to those over 18 if they still live with their parents. My invitations were expensive and cost a lot to mail out so I just sent one per family. No complaints so far.
