In Australia now we say Mr and Mrs Brown. To say Mrs James Brown is old fashioned, from my grandmothers era. The woman of today are not their husbands chattels and therefore use their own first names. Some professional women do not change their names when they marry, but keep their maiden name. This is because clients can't find them if they have a different surname.

This is one where the men still rule. It's always the man first.
Mr. & Mrs James Brown.

Mr. and Mrs., It's the common precedent. plus you would be saying that Mr. brown were married to a girl named James.

I'm a Capricorn non-conformist, & don't like formalities. I just use first names (female first!) like: Jean and Jim Brown. If you HAVE to be formal, Mr. & Mrs.....I don't even use salutations in letters---they're sort of silly, aren't they? & this signing off, "Best regards," "Truly yours,":"Respectfully" & so on. It's still traditional, but also depends on who you're sending the thing to. (I wonder is it possible for me to give a simple answer?)
