I need to mail a card to a couple, but I don't know how to address them on the envelope. The wife's last name is her maiden name hyphenated with her husband's name (example: Smith-Brown). The card's for both of them, so how do I address it?

Mr.John Brown & Mrs.Jane Smith-Brown.....although I don't think she would be offended if you addressed it to Mr & Mrs.Brown.

Mr and Mrs. Smith-Brown. They both share the last name Brown. By using "Smith" your showing respect for the wife in her chosing to keep her maiden name.

No, Mrs. Maiden call does not artwork, because of the fact she's married to Mr. Such and Such. She's Mrs. Such and Such, yet she's Ms. Maiden call. so some distance as what to jot down in a letter, you may handle them by utilising names on the outdoors envelope Mr. Such and Such and Ms. Maiden call yet on the interior, i'd attempt to locate some term that coated the two considered one of them, like "expensive acquaintances".

I recv' some of my mail with both last names names on them . Mr and Mrs. (His last name) (My last name). But since they are married I think it is appropriate to address to Mr and Mrs (Hi slast name). I did not take my husbands name and some mail just comes with his last name its fine with me.

they both still have brown at the end so you can still say Mr. and Mrs. Brown. and it also depends on the relation ship you have with them. if you are not that close, they dont expect you to be perfect

I think I'd go with "John and Mary Smith-Brown."

Either "Mr and Mrs His last name" or "Mr his last name and Mrs. her hyphenated name."
