How Many Wedding Invitations Do I Need?


 


Putting together the guests list is one of the hardest tasks to complete when planning a wedding. Gathering addresses can seem like detective work at times.  But once your list is complete you can breathe a sigh of relief. You now have a list of addresses for thank you cards, and later holiday cards. 

Many couples soon mull over how many invitations to order. Traditionally it's 1 per household. So if you have 150 guests on your list, you may only need to send out 120 invitations. 

Situations:
Children under 18 are always included with the parents on the invitation envelope.

If your 18 year old cousin still lives at home with your aunt and uncle, all 3 names will be on the same envelope.

If your 21 year old cousin is married and lives with your aunt and uncle still, consider sending 2 separate invitations to the same address.

If your grandmother lives with your aunt, consider giving grandma her own invitation. She's special after all. 

Two of your friends are roommates and both are invited to the wedding. They should each get their own invitations. 

If your aunt and uncle have full custody of your cousins' child, the child's name should be included on the envelope with your aunt and uncle.
