I know this has been asked a bunch but I haven't found the answers to my exact questions.
1. When addressing STD's to a family (husband, wife, kids or dad and kid or mom and kid if they're a single parent), do I address them "The Smith Family" or "Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, Tom, and Jane" or something else?
2. My FH dad is remarried and his wife did not take his last name, and she has a daughter who is not FFIL's with the same last name as her. The stepdaughter is over 18 but lives at home while she is in college. Should I send the STD to "Mr. Smith, Mrs. Doe, and Jane Doe" or "The Smith/Doe Family" or "Tom Smith, Janet Doe, and Jane Doe" or something else?
3. If you are inviting a couple where you are related to or only know one of them, do you put their boyfriend/girlfriend's name on the save the date? Or do you just wait until the invitation to indicate if they get a guest or their boyfriend is invited? Ex: I'm inviting my cousin but I know she lives with her boyfriend (who i've never met), do I send the STD to Jane Smith (and then the invite will say Jane Smith and John Doe) or send the STD to Jane Smith & John Doe?
4. If someone will be getting a +1, do you indicate that on the STD? (John Smith and Guest) or wait until the invitation to indicate they get a +1?
I think those are the only issues I've run into so far.
