How would you address this?

How would you address this?

My Aunt and Uncle are not married, and they have a child together who has the fathers last name

So it is Mr. Richard S. & Ms. Kim R.
+ Mary S.

I have no idea how to put this on the envelope!

I would probably do it just as you have it. Or could they be The S Family? They don't need to be married to be a family...

I was thinking of just addressing it as the S Family, but I didnt want to ruffle any feathers because my aunt uses her maiden name for everything.

Re: How would you address this?

For unmarried couples living together, envelopes are addressed with the names on separate lines:

Mr. John Doe
Ms. Jane Smith

If you are using inner envelopes, the child's name does not appear on the outer envelope, only the inner.

If you are not using inner envelopes, the child's name is below the mother's name:

Mr. John Doe
Ms. Jane Smith
Miss Ann Doe
