A grammatical question....

DS just writing thank you letters.... is it "Thank you for coming to mine and Edward's party", rather than "Thank you for coming to my and Edward's party?"

I feel like it should be the former, but that it sounds a bit wrong somehow?

Thank you for coming to our party....

Imagine if Edward wasn't involved:

Thank you for coming to mine party
Thank you for coming to my party

But Fix has a pleasing solution.

Thank you for coming to Edward's and my party.

Edward’s and my. Always put the other person first.

But “our” is easier and much shorter!

Our is better than either, but the best of your options is my.

I agree that "our" is best, but the boys are writing individual thank you letters. So "Edward's and my" it is.

Thank you all for educating me! Grin

Or - Edward and I would like to thank you for coming to our party..

Fawn has the elegant answer.
