Weddings/Place card wording

Question
How do you word the placecards when children will be seated at the same table as their parents? Mr & Mrs...& family ? Or The...Family? Or what?
Generally, one would put:
Mr. and Mrs. Joe McCarthy
Patrick, Sally, and Elise
The children's names would go in a line underneath the parents' names with no title or last name. You may also put Mr. Joe and Mrs. Jane McCarthy if you wish for the first line.
If it's a more casual affair and they're the only family with that last name, you could also simply put "The McCarthy Family".
Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.
Best wishes,
Helen =)
