My cousin is 20 but he still lives with his parents. Should I give him a separate invite or is it ok to just put him in with my uncle and aunt?

I believe that etiquette dictates anyone over 18 should get their own invitation but I'm not positive. But really I can't imagine any 20 year old guy getting offended that he didn't receive his own invitation, lol. Do what feels right to you!

I gave my cousins who were older living at home save the dates with their parents. I plan to do the same for the invite. I will only give them their own if they are a family (say your cousin lived with his parents with his wife) OR if are moved out and living on their own they get their own.

I also battled with this..I happen to have a lot of male cousins in their late 20s/early 30s who still live at home. :)

If they were in their 30s, I gave them a different invite. The ones in their 20s, I just added their names to the invites with their parents.

I agree with PP, just do what your gut tells you.

I know this probably isn't proper etiquette but honestly I didn't care lol. My family and friends aren't really the type to care though. If the family had an older son or daughter living with them I just addressed it to "The Smith Family" and everyone understood it just fine. Just do what makes the most sense to you :) I'm sure no one will be paying that much attention!
