If a married couple goes by two different last names, is the wife still addressed as a Mrs.?

Question

Specifically, if the wife goes by her maiden name, is she addressed as Mrs. *maiden name*?

How would that look in a letter?

Dear Mr. Such and Such and Mrs. Maiden Name?

Answer 1

Absolutely!! Absolutely!! Absolutely!!
I hyphenated my name after marriage although my married name is usually omitted from just about everything I do (unintentionally). Most people, businesses, etc. see the first last name and stop there, but to them I'm still married hence Mrs....

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

No, Mrs. Maiden Name doesn't work, because she's married to Mr. Such and Such. She's Mrs. Such and Such, but she's Ms. Maiden Name.

As far as what to write in a letter, you can address them by names on the outside envelope
Mr. Such and Such and Ms. Maiden Name
but on the inside, I would try to find some term that covered both of them, like "Dear Friends".

Answer 3

No,I think they are addressed as Ms.

Dear Mr Such and Such and Ms Maiden Name.

Answer 4

the right thank you to deal with the envelope is: Mr. & Mrs. John Doe the only exception to that's whilst the two are docs or whilst the spouse is a decide. indexed under are examples of each and every in those circumstances: The docs Doe The Honorable Jane Doe and Mr. John Doe
