So I have ranted to a few people today… but I am going to continue to rant!
So here is the issue: I was recently invited to a wedding, but the invitation was addressed to my parents, brother, and I (and sent to my parents house). This irks me; I am an adult, I live away from my parents (and have for many years), and I feel like I should be getting my own invitations to weddings. Really the question is when does someone become an adult, and get treated like an adult? Would I have gotten my own invitation if I were married? If I had children? If I was 40 and still single? In all cases I would think so! So why, at 25 and not married, does it make it okay to send invitations to my parents? Grrrr!! I will leave my rant at that!

Hey Sarah,
Good question! I think that if you are 18 and married you will get a separate invite and if you are 29 and not single you won't. You must accept this! I personally think that for the wedding invitation thing, if you have moved out, you will be considered an adult when you turn 30. I don't know why this is so, it just is. The only way to get your own invite earlier is to be either famous or infamous. Good luck!
Sarah,
I sure hope you don't have to sit at the "kids" table !
But, yes, you have a point.

I hear ya, it's kinda dumb, lots of people are married at our age, they wouldn't be treated as such. This is discrimination against fabulous single (or not married) people!!
oh sarah... you know i can fell w/ you in this! i may be younger, and may not have been invited to a wedding via my parent's recently- (my personal belief is that if you are out of high school and live at a different address than your parents, you're ready to get your own invite) but oh i am tired of so often being treated like i'm 12! i could handle 16, maybe... lol
much much love,

Well, if I was getting married, and you were on my list, you would receive your very own, personal invitation, (okay, it might be addressed to you AND Jay!!) Seriously, I did send all my cousins who were about 18 years and older, their own invitation. It's just common courtesy if you ask me!
