[General] Sentence Construction

[sascha]

Hello Guys,

I've got a headline that says "We are family made up of 5 brothers".

So my question is: Should I use "that is" before "made up of". So we get the headline: We are family that is made up of 5 brothers".


What is the better construction for that headline?

Thanks in advance,
Sascha

There is a reduced (that is) relative clause in your sentence. Newspapers like to spare spaces.

We are a family of 5 brothers. That's all you need!

But is it still possible to use "We are a family made up of 5 brothers?"
