bebemama:The Scotts, right?
Yes
Absolutely The Scotts.
It makes me crazy when superfluous apostrophes are used. (Former English teacher)

Ditto, except I was not ever an English teacher. It surprises me how many well educated people throw that apostrophe on to their last names.
I asked this a few weeks ago but I think the fact that our last name ends in an "s" makes it even more difficult.
I showed DH the wording of the invite (why I was asking) and he argued with me that the correct way looked wrong. I kind of agree with him.
So anyway, the plural of Holmes is Holmeses. You would say the Holmeses. So yes in your case, it would be Scotts.
Re: When signing your last name? Grammar ?
Yes
