After endless hours spent working on a list of over 200 (started as 50.. yikes!!) It's now come down to actually putting them on our Save the Date envelopes! I know that these tend to be a little less formal than the actual invitations.. However, I thought it would be easier to just stay uniform throughout.
So, my question for all of you Queen Bee's out there.. How do you address the envelope to a family? I do want children included so Instead of just putting the adults on there I wanted to add "and family". How do I make this not look tacky? What is appropriate with formal ettiquette?

My mom suggested just putting "and Family" on the 2nd line.. LMK what you think =)
Although I'm going fomal with invitation addresses, I just wrote "The Smith Family" on my save the dates. They were the mini magnets, so the envelopes were tiny...not much room to write the whole thing. If you have the room, I would just add "and family " on the 2nd line.
