Escort Card Etiquette

megan8290

This is probably a really dumb question. I apologize if everyone have already answered this over and over.

For the escort cards, you list the couples together (Mr. & Mrs.) then what do you do about their kids under the age of 10? Can you put the siblings together (Natalie & Nathaniel)?

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

EDIT: What if a women who is divorce kept her ex's last name for herself and her young son? Should I list Ms. Jane Smith & family? There's only one son and no husband, can I still call her son "family"?

You can just put "John Smith family"  or "John, Jane Smith and family"

We only had 7 kids, so we just gave them their own.

we gave everyone their own, so Jane, John, Billy and Suzie had 4 separate escort cards.

If you go the family route I don't think I'd say "Jane Smith and family"  I would do "The Jane Smith Family"  so that one kid isn't "and family"  You could also just list everyone.  "John, Jane, Billy, and Suzie Smith"

We did couples together but gave kids their own escort cards.

We gave everyone their own escort cards. It made it so much simpler for our guest list, as I'm not sure 6-7 names could have fit on our cards, but we had families that size.
