I am trying to figure out how to address invites to guests with Children
Is it The Jones Family
or Mr and Mrs Robert Jones
Ms Emily Jones
Master John Jones
or Mr and Mrs. Rober Jones on the outside envelope and Robert, Carol, Emily and John on the inside envelope (for a personal touch)
This is the way I've been told is correct:
Ouside envelope:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones
Inside Envelope:
Mr. and Mrs. Jones
Carol, Emily, John (alphabetically, not by age?)
That's the way I've been doing mine.
I've heard of doing
Mr. & Mrs. John Doe and Family
But I just picked out my invites, so I haven't really thought about it.
This is from theknot.com:
Names of children under 18 need not appear on the outer envelope, but over-18-ers who live at home should either appear on their parents' envelope or, preferably, be sent their own invitation. Example:
Mr. and Mrs. Ebert Estonia
Farrah Estonia
195 Oak Boulevard
Chicago, Illinois
Zip Code
Inner Envelope:
-- A family:
Mr. and Mrs. Estonia
Farrah, Gilbert, and Harriet (kids)
