How to address wedding invite for adult siblings living together

Do either of them have significant others or get a plus one? I would send two invites to the same address to avoid confusion.

No they don't

For adults living in the same household, I mailed them each their own invitations.

They each get their own

They should have their own invites

Thanks, this helps!

I think that they should each have their own invitatitons. So you'd be mailing out two invitations!

Technically etiquette says anyone over 18 gets their own invite.... but invitations are expensive. For our save the dates, I include households as everyone living together UNLESS someone had a plus one or were a couple living with someone else. It helped cut back on a little cost and for some of my adult cousins who still live at home it felt really weird sending 4 or 5 save the dates to the same address.

I would either list both names in full on the envelope or do separate ones. It's up to you.

You could address both of them on the same invitation as:

Ms. Jackie Oh

Mr. Jackson Oh

123 Easy Street

Cleveland, Ohio

Thanks a lot everyone!

I did mixed things like this. FHs siblings all live at home plus their aunt. So they got 1 STD and will get 5 invites (overkill much!?)
But for most of my family with adult kids, I'm just sending one for the whole family because half the kids are off in college and not technically "at home"... but to me it's just easier that way.

I know etiquette police says that you have to give everyone their own invitation but honestly invitations are expensive and I don’t think anyone would get offended about this lol.

My point exactly!!!!

Hi Jean! Makes perfect sense. I agree with the others here, sending them both separate invites to the same address is probably best, being that they are independent and adults. I am glad you are feeling better about this!

How many are invited to your wedding day in-total?

View Quoted Comment You might be surprised by who would be offended, particularly if you have pricier invitations.

I recently attended a wedding. The parents of the bride ran the entire show and insisted on pricier invitations but didn't want to spend so much money on them. They chose to send one per family. Many (most) of my daughter's friends, who were also invited, were incredibly offended to not receive their own invitations. In one case three adult children were included on mom and dad's. While the kids were put out, it was mom who was the most offended. She is not the type to get offended, her world is big and she deals with serious issues and conflict resolution on the regular. Not treating her kids like the adults they are, that pushed all her buttons. On the day of the wedding people were still talking about it.

We had decided for my daughter and sil's wedding the year prior to send simpler, less expensive invitations to all adults and actually older high schoolers as well. It was remembered. People appreciate being treated well. They don't care about the price of an invitation.

View Quoted Comment I mean, my invitations were 50 cents each so it’s not like they were extremely expensive. It just seems excessive and unnecessary to mail 2 of the exact same thing to one household. Also that’s not very environmentally friendly. Seriously if I had guests that would be offended by my saving the postage, paper, and effort by sending one invitation per household, I wouldn’t want them to attend

For my save the dates I just did households and put “The Smith Family” then on my invites I’ll put “Mr and Mrs John Smith” and send a separate invite to adult daughter “Ms Jane Smith” and “Mr. Jimmy Smith” so even though they all live together I’ll send three separate invites since they’re all adults and it get confusing. But husband and wife are combined.

We sent one invite per household, regardless of who lived there. We had a sister who lived with her sister & her husband. The invite was addressed:

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Sally Jones

View Quoted Comment This is correct. An and or an & between the names says they are married. Otherwise, unmarried adults at the same address, with nothing to say, siblings, or whatever, separate lines.

This!! It just seems really wasteful to me. I have one or two households that will just be getting one invite. It's my FH's side of the family and he said it would be fine so that's what we are doing.
