I'm trying to decide how to address our invitations without using an inner envelope. I'm in favor of "The Smith Family" because it just feels more warm and familiar and clearly communicates that everyone in the family is invited.

The Smith Family

1234 56th Street

Eau Claire, WI 54729

Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Family

1234 56th Street

Are you inviting every member of the household? Then "The Smith Family" is fine.
For an adult only wedding, the invitation should be addressed to whoever is invited.

When I did my STD I did Mr. & Mrs. John Smith & Family. I guess that would be a more formal way of addressing. Smith Family seems fine.
