Return Address Label question

[My sister's princess]

I am about to order return address labels for the new DH and I, but a I have a question I am sure you will all be able to help me with....



The Mouse Family
123way


Ellen and Jacob Mouse
123


Jacob and Ellen Mouse
123 way



Ellen Mouse and Jacob Mouse
123 way

Jacob Mouse and Ellen Mouse
123 way





How the heck should I get these things worded!!!
We are traditional people, and I want them to be correct

I like your first example...that's always how I get our address labels printed.

 

[PrincessKsMom]

I also think "The Mouse Family" is your best option.

Ellen and Jacob Mouse
123

IF you are married and share a last name, then use the last name only once.

I would typically put my husband first.

Mouse Family works as well.

But I just deal with whatever is sent ot me gratis. I haven't had to buy address labels in ages. We get some each year from our alma mater. So they are individually labeled with my name or his name.

Ours say Matthew and Tina xxxx

 

[golfgal]

Ours are simple:

Mouse
123 Way
Anytown, MN, 12345


Actually now, we get enough return address labels from our insurance company that we don't have to buy any. We get them 4 times/year and since we mail out about 10 letters/year now we are good.

We got an embosser several year ago that just has "The 'Blana's", so I like the Mouser Family one best.

 

[My sister's princess]

I didn't think this decision would be this hard

 

[The Mystery Machine]

We do "family" and then after that we watch the junk mail come from it.

Then dh and I get seperate ones too.

 

[Califgirl]

I always put husbands name first:

Jacob and Ellen Mouse
123 way

But there is nothing wrong with putting just the famly name:

The Mouse's
123

or
The Mouse Family
123

 

[My sister's princess]

So now I am down to these two LOL



Ellen and Jacob Mouse
123 way


OR

Mouse Family
123 way

 

[Christine]

Since address labels are so small, mine just say:

Mouse
123 ...

 

[wdwfan16]

So now I am down to these two LOL



Ellen and Jacob Mouse
123 way


OR

Mouse Family
123 way

I did not do the Mouse Family until we had kids. Before that we did Ellen and Jacob Mouse.

Good call, but did you have to make me think more about this

I really have no idea why I am making this so hard

 

[bumbershoot]

I'd just go with the Mouse Family.

I mean...if you never had kids, wouldn't you still be a family? So "family" counts even if it's just the two of you.

And unless you're sending out millions of pieces of mail, if you do plan on kids, you might very well have one of them by the time you're done with the address labels you're ordering now, and you wouldn't have to reorder because it would be inclusive of any kids.

We haven't done this, we just take what comes in the mail from insurance companies, etc, and thank goodness, b/c we're NOT traditional. We each kept our own name, and hyphenated DS. Sometimes I like writing it all out, that's fun.

 

[AKL_Megs]

I just recently bought our first return labels!

Our labels read...

Robert and Meaghan AKL
123 Anystreet

According to "stationary etiquette" believe it or not there is such a thing, the woman's name comes first and the man second because the woman is taking the man's name and the man should not be separated from his last name. Yes it is very old fashioned but that's the way it goes! I learned this when we were doing our wedding stationary last year!

Good luck! I also like the family way too!
