I think if the last name is Smith, then you would put "The Smith's". If the name is Smiths, with an S , then put it as that.

I think it would be The Smiths. Because the other way would say, The Smith is. My school english is rusty but I'm sure that is the way it should be.

You would embroider it The Smiths. You would put
the inverted comma before the last "S" if you wanted
to put something that belongs to them, like "The
Smith's House", that's what I was taught at school
many years ago, and I hope I was taught right!

If the surname is Smith, you put it The Smiths. When put The Smit's car or house or whatever is when you use the aposthophy 's. Hope this will help. Annatjie

's is always possessive, never the plural, so it should be The Smiths - at least that is what I was taught during the grammar lessons at my teacher training course. But I'm not a native speaker.
