Addressing question

I have three first cousins that are invited to our wedding. Their mother past away last year and they all still live together at the house. They are 17, 19 and 20 years old. I want to give them an invitation that lets them know they are welcome to each bring a guest. Should I send three invitations (with and Guest) or 1? If 1, how do I word it?

Also, how would I address it for two people living together, unmarried and the female as two kids? The female is a widow if that matters since she kept her husbands last name.

Thanks for your time

Hello there,

It would be most appropriate to address an invitation to each of your cousins and the inside envelope would say "cousin's name & guest" for each.

For couples living together put one or both names on the envelope and on the inner envelope, address to all who are invited in the household.

Cheers,
