How it's used

Used primarily in formal invitations, such as wedding cards or banquet notices, to indicate that every member of the recipient's household is welcome. It carries a respectful and traditional tone that is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation. You will almost always see it paired with 統請 to form the set phrase for a collective invitation.

Common phrases

cordially invite the whole family

Common mistake

Avoid using this in casual settings, as it sounds overly formal and stiff. It is strictly a term for invitations and should not be used to describe a family in general conversation, where 全家 is the standard choice.
