I think etiquette says to address to Mr & Mrs, then on the inner envelope write Mr. and Mrs. then the childrens names under it.

If they are over 18, they need to get their own invite.

Re: Wedding Invitations
If you're inviting your cousins with a guest each (I'm assuming they're 'of age'), then they have to get their own invitations.
I have cousins that are younger (i.e. 9 years old, etc) and others that are older but not being invited with guests - in those cases, I'm sending the invite to Mr. and Mrs. Doe Jimmy, Susie, and Sally Po Box blah blah Etc, Etc
(I'm not using inner envelopes)

Yep, unless the children are over 18. Although we did break this rule in some cases if it was borderline and they lived at home we just sent one...Mr. & Mrs. on the outer envelope, and then Mr. & Mrs. then the childrens' names under it on the inner

Re: Wedding Invitations
I sent 1 invite per household, if there were 2 people i just put both their names on the invite (no inner envelope) and used Mr. & Mrs. and Family for larger families.

Re: Wedding Invitations
I had always planned on giving separate invitations if they were over 18 but I almost ran out of invitations (Dad kept adding people) so we did what we had to do. We ended up doing Mr. & Mrs. Blank on the outside and then Mr. & Mrs. Blank and kids names and guest underneath.

Not necessarily. If they still live at home with mommy and daddy, they can still get an invitation addressed to Mommy and Daddy with their names underneath.

Re: Wedding Invitations
My FH family is to large to give everyone a seperate invite. We did & Family on many invitations...if we invite them with guest then they would get there own.

Re: Wedding Invitations
We did 'And Family' or everyone's names for those with kids who live at home, even if they're over 18.

That is what I am planning to do as well. But for example, i am sending 3 invites to one house b/c i am inviting my cousins w/ guest

Re: Wedding Invitations
it probably depends on the age of the other 2 people. if they're under 21 i think you can put them all on one invite. otherwise, go for separate.
