+1's, again

Discussion by chattychiqa · December 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

Bridal party members, regardless of relationship status, get +1's no matter what. I get this and am on board. What do you do with adult sibs in the same house that also are attending, as guests? FI has an aunt with 5 kids, all adults. One is married and lives with her DH, 4 aren't and live at home. The boys are groomsmen,…

For clarification: the married one lives with her DH, I wouldn't expect to not invite him. None of the 4 remaining adult kids are dating anyone. For the duration of my relationship with FI, none of them have dated seriously or had SO's/boyfriends/girlfriends. Those 4 kids all live at home w/their mom & dad and grandma.…

May be a no-no, but if the 4 adult kids live with mom and grandma, I say send one invitation to them as a family. You can include a personal note inside addressed to each of the invitees (or an inner envelop) saying something to the effect of you're excited to see each of them. If your event is not ubber formal, I…

There have been no other family weddings :-/ His sister had a VERY small ceremony with family going to a restaurant after. His cousin (the married one) had a standard-ish wedding of at least 100 (per the venue minimum, I wasn't around at the time)...I think her older bro was in the wedding and all younger siblings (3) were…

Wha? No... Cousin who lives on her own w:DH gets an invitation. I am saying for the remaining 4 who live w/mom and dad, why do they need their own? It's a derail from my original topic, I know...but I wouldn't include married cousin's invite with her parents'.

chattychiq- I agree with your sentiment that the single cousins living with their parents don't each need their own invite. I also agree that grandma who also lives there needs here own. If you come from a super-formal family (which doesn't seem like the case), then send one to everyone. I think that if you're in the 18-23…

In a prefect world everyone would get a +1. That said, in my family cousins not in a relationship never got a +1. There were way too many of us and adding random dates for cousins who knows 60+ other people there didn't seem like it was necessary. Besides none of us wanted to bring a random plus one to a family function.…

All these adults get their own invitations. If you are worried about space/ budget, I think that being consistent across the board (only people in LTR get dates) is fine.

Not to sound pretentious, but 2 months is not serious-yet. It may get serious (all of us were at 2 months at one point), but 2 months is 2 months. We're not in middle school anymore where "going out" for 2 months is a milestone and we'd be kidding ourselves to say it is.

Since you're planning on giving the guys a +1 since they're in the wedding, I would probably give the girls a +1 as well since they're family. Yeah, they don't NEED to have a plus one, but I think it might be weird to give some of the siblings a +1 and some not.
