I think this post will help a bit:

As for the kid who is over 18 and staying with the rents, I'd address them all in one invitation.
Good luck! :)
I went the first route, writing parents on the outside and kids on the inside. That left it a lot less ambiguous as to who specifically was invited.
Also, we sent separate invites to kids 18+ living at home. I know it seems excessive, but I figured those kids would probably be old enough to potentially make their own travel plans, and I wanted them to have copies of the inserts and other information. I also wanted some of them to be able to bring guests, which allowed me to more clearly indicate that.
Good luck -- addressing is such a pain!
Whoa, thanks! Those links answered all my questions. This one was especially helpful - http://www.weddingbeepro.com/2009/03/06/envelope-addressing-tips/

Alright, I seem to be finding mixed answers on google regarding this issue.
I'm inviting entire families to our wedding. (Meaning the parents and their kids).
Does the outer envelope just say the parents names? As in "Mr. and Mrs. John Doe".
And then the inner envelope says "Mr. John Doe, Mrs. Jane Doe, First name of kid #1, first name of kid #2".
Or do I just write "The Doe Family" on the outer envelope and leave it at that?
Or do I write the parent's names on the outer envelope line #1 as in "Mr. and Mrs. John Doe", and then on line #2 write "Ms. Kid #1 Doe" and "Mr. Kid #2 Doe". Do you use "Ms. and Mr." for children?
Also, what do you do if you are inviting the parents and their kid who is over 18 and lives at home with them still? Do you really have to send out two invitations? One to the adult child and one to the parents? Seems excessive to me! Especially since both are going to the same address!
Help me please! I don't know what to do! It seems so trivial, but I'm making a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be!
