For those of u that invited Children to the wedding Invite ?

I found a Website that said all kids 18 and over even if the live at home should get their own invites. Then it said for kids 18 and younger put nothing on the outer envelope and Have the kids names Oldest to Youngest on the inner envelope. Well what did u address it to then.

The smith kids?
address goes

Smith?

Re: For those of u that invited Children to the wedding Invite ?

I'm a little bit confused by what you're asking, but I think it's 1 invitation for each kid 18 and over, so if that's the case, it would be

Joe Smith
1234 Blahblah Lane
Yadda yadda, NY 11111

For kids under 18, you would address the outer envelope to the parents (Mr. and Mrs. John Smith) and then on the inside envelope, list everyone in order of age starting with the parents: John, Maggie, Joe, Shelly, and Tina.

Is that what you're asking?

i agree -
for 18 and over their names on both envelopes
for under 18 parents on outer envelope then parents and names of kids on inside

I addressed the invites to Mr. & Mrs. Joe Smith and family. I only sent a separate invite to some one over 18 if they had a date. For example...My FH has three cousins, all living at home and one is engaged. The invite was addressed to Mr & Mrs and family and then the cousin thats engaged received his own invitation addressed to him and his finance. To be honest, as long as it's clear who is invited, i dont' think the formality is all that important. The envolope is going to get thrown out anyway.

AAAAHHH see I was under the imprestion that the kids under 18 all would get one invite (beside their parents) It said leave the outter envelope blank. And put their names inside.

I don't know if we did it right but we put to the parents and then included and family, they knew from that that we were inviting their children also. We gave each of our older teenage guest their own invite and invited them with a guest.

Too much work I would just put to The familiy. Why spend extra money on the invite. The only way I would send to an 18+ was if they lived outside their parents house
