How would you design address labels/stamps with two last names?

Anonymous
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)

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.

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

Same with us. We do Smith-Jones, no first names.

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
