I’m addressing my wedding invitations and I have some questions on how to write them. I have a guidelines sheet in my wedding planner book that says to send separate addresses to children over 16. Did you do this or did you just put Mr. and Mrs. Smith and family? Did you list childrens names individualy or just put ‘and family’?

We out entire families (everyones name seperately) if they lived in the same house. That includes the kids names as well so they feel included. If it’s a huge family with little kids, just adult names and family after. No one else will see anyone elses invitations so choose per family as to how you think it appropriate. (If they have two kids use both names and parents names; if four, then parents and family, etc.)
Good luck and congrats.
If you are on a strict budget you can do the and family invites but sending an individual invite to anybody over 16 is a nice touch and really makes their day. You don’t have to though.
Now, if you have an age limit on your reception, say 10 and the 16 year old has a sibling under the age of 10 and you want the 16 year old to come then you should send an invite to their parents with the Mr. and Mrs. bit and one to the 16 year old with the Miss/Mr…..if you send an Smith Family to that household you are including the underage child as well.
I only sent them to children over 18. I just addressed them to Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
If the child is over 16 and living at home I included them on the parents/family invitation. I did however list the names out so there was acknowledgment of who was included on the invitation.
If everyone lives in the same house The Smith Family would work for me. It’s silly to waste time and money to do seperate invitations.
I didn’t send invitations to children individually. on the outside of the envelope i used and family and on the interior envelope i listed all family members by name.
im doing children over 18 (since the are technically adults) and i listed names on the inner envelope–like Outer: Mr and Mrs John Smith. Inner: John, Jane, Jimmy, Sara and Luke
I have heard over 18 (legal adult) not 16. you can write and family, that is just fine, as long as everyone in the family is invited! it is totally up to you as long as you keep things consistant.
I put Mr Mrs John Doe and Family, some people have a lot of kids and you don’t wanna clutter up the invitations with a bunch of seperate names, usually kids under 18 still live at home with their parents anyways. I’ve never heard of seperate invites for kids though? Good Luck and have fun filling them all out!! : )
It depends on if you have an inside envelope. If you do, then on the outside, just address it to Mr and Mrs J. Smith. On the inside envelope, you put John, Jane, Jimmy and Jenny. If you do not have an inside envelope, you address it to Mr and Mrs J Smith, Jimmy and Jenny. I would say that if the kids still live at home and do not have a job yet or are in college, don’t give them a seperate invite. You don’t want them to think that you expect a seperate gift.
Yes, properly anyone over the age of sixteen is supposed to get their own invitation, even though they live with their parents. I didn’t do it, but only because I didn’t happen to have any guests that fit that description. Had there been one that fit that description, I would have. After all, not only is it correct, it’s also a bit of a thrill at that age to get mail addressed to yourself as opposed to your parents with you as just a part of the gang.
Yes, I listed the children’s names individually. That way there was no question of who was and wasn’t invited.
Put ‘and family’ - again, another silly ‘rule’. Go with common sense!
