How do you address envelope if you

are inviting the couple and their children? Is it:
Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Family?

yes like you have it

or Mr. & Mrs. John Smith & Family

NO, ITS Mr. and Mrs. Smith on the outside envelope then on the inner envelope you write

Mr. Robert Smith and Mrs. Cathy Smith
Tom Smith(kids name goes underneath) if its more than one kid you put them in order of age

you dont write 'and family' or 'and guest' on the outside

I was wondering this as well since I have a couple invites that are like that

However, I am doing pocketfold invites and they usually only have one envelope so in that case what do i write on the envelope

Mr. & Mrs. John Smith & Family??

yeah if you have one envelope nothing else you really can do. Unless the family knows they are all invited so if you feel theres no need but thats up to you i guess

and is it ok to use the and symbol '&' or do you have to write out the whole word 'and'?

---

On a formal invite you should write everything out (Street vs St., New York vs NY, and vs &)
