Who should get a wedding invitation?

I would give the engaged or soon to be engaged ppl a separate invitation from there parents.... If you give everyone one invite then it could delay you getting back RSVPs. ie: parents know they're def coming by cousin fiance is unsure. That's what I would do.

That makes sense. What about the other cousins; those that are single or who we are not giving a plus 1?

Ettiquette says that if they are over 18 they should get their own invitation.

Cousins can def go with there parents if they're not bringing a plus one. Granted that they live in the same household... I put my mom with my younger brother whose 22, on the same invitation. He lives with her and would be coming to the wedding with her. Didn't make sense to give him his own invitation.

Remember, college kids are home for the summer, so feel free to send it to the family.

I think it depends if they cousins/siblings are getting a +1. In general, however, I would send them their own invitation.

I would say send an invitation to the aunt/uncle and send a SEPERATE invitation to the cousin which will then include their signficant other or guests.

BUT send both invitations to the address of the aunt/uncle. So then the college counsins pick up their invitations when they go home to their family, but they have a seperate one inviting them and their SO/guest.

I think it depends on the people. I know my college-aged cousins would be offended if they were on their parents invitation. They want to be recognized as adults and out of the house and most definitely would prefer their own invitation. But, if you don't think they'd mind, go with saving money though etiquette does say everyone over 18 gets their own.

I sent my college age daughter her own invitation at the dorm even though she was in the wedding. She loved getting it and showed all her roommates!

18 or older = own invite, even if they live at home.
