| I'm planning to order family address labels and/or a stamp because honestly I am too damn lazy to write out my own address every time I mail something. The thing is that I didn't change my name when dh and I got married. How would you format this? EG I am Smith, he is Jones, kids are Smith-Jones. I guess this is what all the "Jason & Melissa" examples on Etsy are for, but I'd like a "family" label rather than a "couple" one. Should we just put Smith-Jones? Smith/Jones? Smith Jones? Smith+Jones? I am way overthinking this LOL. |
| I use Smith + Jones on a return address stamp, but my kid is just Jones and when necessary, we are The Jones Family. In your situation, I'd probably do The Smith-Jones Family. |
|
Our family name situation is similar to yours (I kept my name and the kids have hyphenated names). Before we had kids my mailing label was like this
Larla Jones & Larlo Smith 123 Main Street After kids and when I wanted a family return address I did this: Jones-Smith Family 123 Main Street. |
|
We do
Ariel Smithsonian Christopher Hannaford 123 Main Street anywhere, DC 00000 Mainly because our names are too long for one row. |
|
We do:
Smith/Jones Family 123 main street yadda yadda, va |
|
DH and I have different last names, DD has his name.
We do: The Smith Jones family rest of our address (close to what others have said but w/o hyphen) |
This is what we do. |
|
I used the address stamp almost exclusively for paying bills, taxes and other adult correspondence. I thought it was weird to do "The Smith-Jones Family" as though my professional correspondence were a xmas card. I do ours like this:
Smith -- Jones 123 Happy Lane The two dashes turn into one long dash. I didn't to it like this "Smith-Jones" because that looks like it's a hyphenated shared last name. |
This is what we do. |
|
We have three different last names.
DH’s Mine (my maiden) DD’s hyphenated (my maiden and my XH’s) No address labels for us
|
| I ordered two sets--one with my name and one with my husband's name |
|
John Smith
Jane Doe 123 Main Street |
Same with us. We do Smith-Jones, no first names. |
Yes. |
|
I'm a married man whose wife didn't take my name
Smith/Jones family would be so annoying to me that I'd rather just not send or receive mail with that label |
