To solve the plural problem, how about The Parish Family?;)
Assuming your last name is Parish, it should read "The Parishes'." With an apostrophe at the end, as it is actually stating that you are belonging to the Parish family.
Technically, it should be written " The Parishes' " BUT I like what Kim suggested, The Parish Family.
Mine reads " The Laynes' " and its cute, made by my cousin for a wedding gift, but I want one that says Layne Family, with kitties around it;)
Our Family sign just has the family name on it. No plurals, apostrophes, etc.
Sort of like this, except ours does NOT have the house number, that is a whole different sign.

I was thinking the same as Kim said. The Parish Family. You do not need to worry about the "s" issue. :)
I like "The Parish Family".
How about "Parish the Thought"? *ducks to avoid heavy object being thrown* :p:D
The Parish Family
I actually think that is cute.Quote:

I don't think either are correct....but, my english teacher is in a staff meeting right now.

I like "The Parish Family" best, like others have suggested.
We don't have that problem with our family sign. We put everyone's individual names on it, including the kitties! It's quite large, and so many names that we had to add a second sign hung on a chain underneath with the kitties names on it. Although it's an older sign so my younger kitties don't have their names on it. I'll have to see if the lady that made that one for us can make an additional one we can hang under those two with the updated names. lol
I aso like "The Parish Family" best!
Who's Brian? :p;)
I went with "The Parishes"--Parish family sounds old and busy to me--like in the days of "The Partridge Family"
