Wedding Invitation Etiquette HELP!

What is the proper etiquette for addressing children over the age of 16, but under the age of 18 on envelopes if no inner envelope is being used?

crfische

So for 17 year olds...

Or am I not getting the riddle?

Why does is matter if they're over 16?

18 and under is all addressed the same way. This is a stupid question.

That was incredibly rude when the OP is clearly just trying to address her envelopes properly.

We used to be super sweet, but then they took the P& away.  We've been crabby ever since.

OOT has it.  If you don't have an inner envelope then the names of the children go on the outer envelope in order from oldest to youngest under their parents' names.

Boys are "Mr." and girls are "Miss".

So if you are sending one invite for the household:

"Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
 Miss Courtney Smith"

<div>FI's cousin has 5 kids under the age of 7. Please please please tell me this is the one time you guys will look the other way if I write "and family"?</div>

Are the five in the same house?

FWIW, when we were married, DH's cousins had 15 children under the age of 7 (from 7 cousins I believe).  We still wrote out the names. 

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Yes, they are in the same house. It's just one cousin and his wife and kids. I can just picture the envelope now... I don't know how they spell all the kids names, so we'll need to ask FI's aunt. Even the future in-laws have trouble keeping them straight (they live in a different state).
