Dear X Family

Joldo,while i am a chinese, but to be frank, i am not so sure what kind of letter u are trying to write. so i cannot give you a exact translation to that.

while it seems to me that you are trying to write to several persons. my suggestion is that u give all the names one by one in a reasonable order with proper titles.

examples:

亲爱的爸爸、妈妈: (we are not saying 'dear parents')

尊敬的X教授,X 教授 (suppose they are a couple)

if u are close to the family, u can just directly write to the host, its not the tradition to mention the hostess and the children right at the beginning, but u can greet them in the letter.

Also, how does one say godparent in Mandarin Chinese?
Also' date=' how does one say godparent in Mandarin Chinese?

it should be 教父,教母

no chinese word exactly matchs "godparent", cause chinese don't say "教父母"~~[/quote']

Take a look -> Things A Catholic Should Know (webpage of the HK Diocese)

INFANT BAPTISM

4. Practical Guidelines

(B) when selecting god-parents, parents should take into consideration the person's spiritual maturity and his relationship with the child;

(d) parents and god-parents, whenever possible, should attend the instruction course arranged for them by the parish in order to fully understand the meaning of infant baptism and their responsibility;

嬰兒洗禮

四、嬰兒洗禮指南

(二)在選擇代父母時,父母應該考慮他們的神修的成熟程度及他們與嬰兒的關係。

(四)父母和代父母都應盡可能參加堂區為他們安排的教理課程,以便充分了解嬰兒洗禮的意義及他們本身的責任。
