Comments.Text: family memberships does not have an easy answer in my experience. to provide a form where a 'family' can enter names of those who 'share' the membership generally requires a more complex form than civi can currently provide - and that means using the CMS capability such as Caldera Form integration to let you create a form that can create multiple contacts on the one page

Title: How best to set up individual and family membership in our organization
ThreadText: # How best to set up individual and family membership in our organization
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2021-08-13)
  
  We are using Wordpress and have CiviCRM version 5.39.0. I consider myself novice in website building.
  
  I'm interested to know how best to set up 2 memberships in our organization, i.e. individual and family (both having different membership fees). Family will include spouse and all children (under 18) in the household.
  
  I created a contribution page and was able to add 2 radio buttons for the individual membership or family membership sign up/renew option. However, the "profile" only list the individual membership signup/renew information (i.e. only personal information for a single person). It would be nice if the "profile" can be updated to to show additional field for spouse and/or children information, when that radio button for family membership is selected. How can I do that?
  
  Alternatively, how best would you suggest to set up the membership structure in CiviCRM?
  
  Thanks in advance.
