[quote=Anonymous]I kept my name and the kids have DH's last name. Still married, not blended. It doesn't bother me one iota that I "can't" write "The Smiths" on holiday cards. (I mean, I could if I wanted to, but I don't want to.) I will write "The Smith-Jones Family" but I actually prefer to write our first names. In the return envelope, I usually have printed "Larla Smith and Elmer Jones" with our address, but that's because I like to try to emphasize it for family members who after 35 years still can't seem to acknowledge that my last name isn't Jones lol. In your case, I would sign first names and on the return envelope put The Smith-Jones-Garcia Family, and I wouldn't give this another thought. Embrace it. Whatever you write, it won't be as bad as people with terrible grammar who write "The Smith's".[/quote]
