My guess is this, which is way at the bottom of the support FAQ page (which can be found at the bottom of the posted FAQ section):

"I cannot join a Steam Family"

If you cannot join a Steam Family, it is likely for one of three reasons:

  • Your account activity does not show that you are part of the same household as the existing members.

I cannot invite my gf to the Families, while we could do Library share before just fine.

Replied in other posts, it likely is because you have to be in the same country/steam store region or something...

A lot of work but: have her VPN into your residential network and send her traffic through your ISP for a while.

Just sign in with her account on your pc, invite her and then you can sign out. I had the same problem.
