I have a WR question

pantherRN · May 2011

If you have parents and adult children under the same roof, do the same rules for invitations, apply for STDs as well?

Our STD's were less formal, so I think we just sent one per family and wrote out the names. We didn't do formal addressing, just wrote "John, Sally, and kids."

The only one I think we did send different ones to was my aunt who has 2 grown daughters in the house, one engaged and the other in a LTR, so we wanted to address their SO's too, and sent them separate ones.

I think dnbeach has it right.

We just did word-of-mouth STDs to family. News travels fast in my family and in his.

Not related at all, but when people use a question mark instead of the word 'question' it makes me CQTM because I always think of Anchorman..."I'm Ron Burgandy?"

<div>Haha I still didn't get it until you wrote that. I was thinking she forget a word, because "I have a wedding related" didn't make any sense. </div>

I think you should address them as you would an invite but I don't see a problem in just using the same one put adding all names on different lines

pantherRN · May 2011

Haha, I had a space there...but apparently TK didn't like that. I'll fix it.

We addressed ours (email) as we are addressing the invites--although not as formal--so it was clear who exactly was invited, since our wedding is out-of-town for almost everyone. We wouldn't want to address someone as "Jon and Jane Smith and family" and have them make travel arrangements for their children, parents, and in-laws when all we meant to invite was their children. Just a word of caution.

So I should be okay to address an STD like this:

Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
Joe, Sally, and Martha Doe

where Joe and Sally are over 18?

[Deleted User] · May 2011

I thought those over 18 were supposed to receive their own invite. But maybe that doesn't apply for STD's.

Beachy730 · May 2011

Yeah that would be fine. I didn't even put the Mr. & Mrs. on our STD's.

Just to clarify from my other post, I only wrote & kids on our STD's because we invited only first cousins, and the kids were all under 16, so I knew there would be no discrepancy over who it was for. But if there was any doubt in my mind, I would have written them all out.

jessicabessica · May 2011

We sent one save the date per invite, so adult children got their own save the dates if we will be sending them their own invite (which you're supposed to do, we broke this rule for a few cousins). If you're sending a magnet or something, I think it's a little silly to send more than one to the same household if they're all going on the same fridge, though.

Thanks girls!
