Wedding Invitations & Paper

Addressing Invites for Families: 18+ guests?

I have a couple of different families I'm inviting, all have children over 18. Most are at college and don't have their own place or are living at home, so I'm trying to be the most efficient about $ and paper but also follow etiquette. I had planned on sending a separate invite for the parents, and then one invite for the kids both addressed to the same place. Would this be acceptable? Also, is there an order for listing them? Age? Name? Gender? What is the correct format for this? Thanks!! (e.g. Ms. Jane, Ms. Emily, and Mr. Kyle)

Re: Addressing Invites for Families: 18+ guests?

  • Anyone over 18 gets an invite addressed to them. It's fine to send it to their parents' home if you know they receive other mail there. I know it feels weird to send the same thing 3+ times to he same address, but it's what needs to be done. I sent five invites to the same house for a family on H's side (Uncle & Aunt with two kids under 18 and four kids over 18 still living at home).

    Address them as:

    (Parents with children under 18):
    Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
    Jane Smith
    Bobby Smith

    (Over 18):
    Ms. Emily Smith
  • Each person over 18 gets their own invite.
