"Welcome to the Jones__": Plural or Plural Possessive? [closed]

When making a welcome sign, what form of the name Jones would you use? ("Welcome to the Jones__")


Solution 1:

To me, a possessive seems fitting in this context. But I would think you would want a plural: just as "the house of the Smith family" can be called "the Smiths' (house)", it seems to me that "the house of the Jones family" should be expressed as "the Joneses' (house)".

So my recommendation for a sign is:

Welcome to the Joneses'

based on the fact that for a family with the name "Smith", I would use

Welcome to the Smiths'

(The following question is very similar, but closed for some unclear reason: Re: a sign on your residence: The Smiths vs. The Smiths’. I disagree with the answers there.)
