I'm not inviting kids except for the FGs and RBs. On those envelopes should I put:
The Smith Family 123 Main St. Anytown, NY 11111
and the names on the inner envelope
or
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith Miss Katie Smith Mr. Daniel Smith 123 Main Street Anytown, NY 11111
on the outer envelope
TIA!!

Re: Invitation addressing question
How old are the RB & FG? I gave mine their own invites but they were 7 & 10 and they loved getting their own. If they are younger then I would say The Smith Family on the outside and everyone's name on the inside.

Re: Invitation addressing question
I would address it to Mr. & Mrs. Smith and on the inside envelope write their names.
If they have children in the bridal party you can add their names to the inside envelope or you can send them their own invite.

Re: Invitation addressing question
Mine were not as formal. I had this on the outside:
The Smith Family 123 Main St. Anytown, NY 11111
On the inside I wrote
Uncle John, Aunt Joan, Katie and Daniel
(obviously, if they're not an uncle or aunt you could leave that out)
I personalized everyone of them because we were hosting the wedding, not our parents and I wanted a warmer feeling when they opened the invitation.

Funny thing is, I didn't see his 5th leg until we got home from the safari. We were looking a pics and I went, 'wait, what is that??'

Re: Invitation addressing question
I did that too but if youre not inviting every child from that family Im not sure I would write family on the outside envelope.
Id be afraid they wouldnt look at the inside envelope and Id end up with more kids

They're my 7 year old niece and 5 year old nephew. I don't think I'll give them their own invitation.
I'm so ready for a party weekend, Lisa!!
