Invite etiquette about people I live with...

Sorry for the awkward title, but it's the best I could come up with. =/
Anyways, due to some difficult times during college, my FH & I moved back in with my parents and brother a few years ago and we are still living with them. My question is (even though it sounds silly) should I still physically mail them an invite or no? It feels weird that I would have to since it's close family (I have pleanty of extra invites for keepsakes, so that's not the problem).

    I didn't live with my parents and I didn't mail their invite.  My mother thought it was silly, especially since the RSVP address we put on the return envelopes was my parents' house (I didn't trust the mail delivery at our apartment).  She told me not to waste the postage.

    I would still address the envelope (so they have something that is specifically theirs... all formal looking and whatnot) but not waste the postage. I live with my parents now (to save money until the wedding) and don't plan on mailing them one

    Ditto PP, I would address the envelope and just hand it to them.

    Anytime when my immediate family was getting married they usually just gave me my invitation in person (unless we lived a sizable distance away and were not going to see each other anytime soon).

    I addressed the envelope and just put it in the mailbox myself.

    I mailed one to my then-roommate. It's just cute to get a wedding invitation in the mail. It was in a pile of 50+ other invitations anyway.

    I am mailing most of mine, and hand delivering a few of them, since we live in a small community and they are local people. Plus, I know they will not mind if they receive their invite by hand instead of in the mail.
