1 invitation or 2 seperate invitations to 1 house

OK my cousin is in college and will be staying with her parents during the summer (when the invitations will be mailed). Should I just add her name to her parent's invitation or send her one of her own?

    I agree with Banana. Send her a seperate invite. Chances are, she leads her own life and she may have something already lined up.

    That's a hard one.  I have a big family and have had this a lot.  However, I was usually on my parent's until I was out of college and in the real world working.  I know she is supposed to get a seperate per etiquette rules and formal rules.  But if it is your family you know them best.  My invitations were ordered in packs of 25 so I have extra anyway so I might send her a seperate one.  Also, if she is over 21 I would send her own for sure!

    If she is over 18 she should get her own.  And especially if she is getting a guest she definitely should get her own.  I know it can be annoying and tedious (we have 3 invites going to one house) but it is out of respect for the young adult.

    It's not over 21, it's over 18 when you're an adult.

    I made the decision to put all people living in the same household on the same invitation, to save on paper and stamps.

    It's great that you made the decision to save on paper- but it's not appropriate.

    I did not make a decision to save paper. I was asking opinions on what others have done. I have already marked her down for her own invitation btw.

    [QUOTE]Send her an invitation separate from her parents. 1) It's proper etiquette to do so. 2) By that point in life, she's an adult and often will lead a life separate from her parents.  When I was home for the summer, I didn't always see my parents or have a lot of time to talk to them.  I would have been upset if they made my decisions for me.

    Perfect reasons. Send anyone over 18 their own invitation whether or not they live with their parents.
