help me with a grammar question please

I feel so stupid-- but what is the proper way to writ our names (for a personalized luggage tag?)

The Smiths
555 Flowerhill Way
Dreamland, NY 5555

or

The Smith's


How does it go?


Thanks in advance

It's The Smiths.

The 's is the possesive form. It would mean one Smith owning something, like Bob Smith's house.

Or, in the case of it's like above, it's a contraction, meaning 'it is.' But for a simple plural like you want, it's just the simple 's' like in The Smiths.

Ditto! NO APOSTROPHE!
