[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. My last name ends with an s so we use "The ____s Family" to avoid adding an "es." My SIL just sent out her card and totally botched it. Same last name that ends in s and her card said "The ____s" no "es" and no "family" [/quote] We have "The Humphreys" in our family. Humphreyses seems wrong, don't you think? I agree that "Family" avoices the issue, but some names ending in -s seem to work in the plural without any changes. [/quote] No. If their last name is Humphreys, it's "the Humphreys family" or "the Humphreys." Saying "happy holidays from the Humphreys" will make people think their last name is Humphrey. It does not "work." Had a friend who botched this with their wedding. Hashtag #introducingthehumphreys and literally nobody told them at any point in the process.[/quote] Is there a typo in your post? If not, I'm not following.[/quote]
