I'm having some difficulty with figuring out how to address an envelope to my FH's family. We're having a more intimate, informal wedding, so we are inviting our close family and friends, and anyone's significant other who is married, engaged, or has been in a long term relationship.
The envelop I'm having trouble figuring out is a family that includes: Husband, Wife, and 4 (adult) kids. One of the kids lives with her fiancé, so I plan to send them their own invitation. The remaining 3 kids live with Husband and Wife at home, but one of them has a long-term boyfriend who we plan to invite. I wanted to send one invitation to the family as a whole, but I'm not sure how I could include the Boyfriend's name? I want to be specific so that it's clear who is invited. My initial thought was:
The Smith Family
Husband, Wife, Kid 1, Kid 2, Kid 3, & Boyfriend
1234 Smith Lane
But then I thought that it would be weird to include the Boyfriend under the family name. So, my next thought was to send two invitations. One to Husband, Wife, Kid 1 & Kid 2. Then a second to Kid 3 & Boyfriend.
Has anyone come across this situation, and how did you handle it? And what are your thoughts?
