Use of apostrophe in names
Which is correct grammar / pronunciation use? This is for verbiage on a personalized cake plate. I originally thought that no apostrophe was correct, but since house is assumed (although not written) after Browns, perhaps the apostrophe is best. I appreciate your input. Thanks!
A) Celebrate at the Brown's!
B) Celebrate at the Browns!
A) Celebrate at the Brown's!
B) Celebrate at the Browns!

Browns', with the apostrophe after the s. (at the house of all the Browns)
Or you could just say "Celebrate with the Browns" and avoid the apostrophe altogether.
