invitation addressing help

Hey,

My invitations do not have inner envelopes and I have a question about how I would address the outside if I am inviting a couple and some of their kids.
Do I write
Mr and Mrs. Kevin Baker
Miss Angela Baker
Master James Baker
3 Brick Road
Hicksville, NY 11801

How many names is too many?
Is two enough and if it is three should I send them their own invitation?

TIA for the help.

Amy

I would put
Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Baker & Family

If they had different last names you would have to address each person but because they all have the same i think this is a little better ....

This is what I did:

Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Baker
Angel and James
(if children are under 18)

IF over 18 they need separate invite with guest.
This is the proper way to do it.

You can also google 'addressing wedding invitation' and you will see what to do for almost every situation.

Hope this help!!

Re: invitation addressing help

when i did not know the kids names, i put:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and Family

For some I put
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and Christopher

for others I put:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Jennifer and Christopher

and finally:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Miss Jennifer Smith

Re: invitation addressing help

I definitely can't put 'and Family'. I am only inviting a few kids from each family. I don't want any assumption that they can bring them all.
Thanks so much for the info so far..
