Shower invite etiquette question

I know that for wedding invites adults who live in the same household get their own invite (adult cousins living with parents). Does this hold true for shower invites also, or can those be combined?

  • I would hold it true for the shower as well.  If they get their own invite for the wedding, they get their own invite for the shower.

    Etiquette states that every adult should get their own invitation

    I think that it depends on the formality of the shower and the "level" of adulthood.

    If the shower is a formal sit-down with plated meals, give the invited adult-children their own invitation.

    But if it's an informal buffet/finger food living room-type shower and the other adult-child is only like 18/19 and fresh out of high school, I think you can still get away with including them on their parents' invite. However, if the adult-child is  out of college and/or working almost full time (like is 20/21/22+, and an adult that happens to live at home rather than a child who happens to be 19), try to get them their own invite.

  • Thanks, that helps! It is definitely more informal, so I think I will combine for one cousin (just graduated this year) and separate for the other who is older.

    They will get their own wedding invites though because they both have significant others that will be invited as well.

    Are they in the same household? If they are, then they should probably get all separate if one is going to be separate.

  • They are not - different sides of the family - one FI's and one mine.
