Quick grammar question

I want to make sure I write our last names correctly on labels I am ordering.

Would it be The Smiths or The Smith's?

Obviously not our last name Chat Icon

I think it's the smiths because it's almost like the plural of you, not the contraction the smith is or ownership.

Re: Quick grammar question

This is correct providing your last name does not end in "s" (obviously)...you wouldn't put the Joness for Jones
