Bit of a silly question but . . .

I'm ordering return address labels and I hyphenated my name. How should this be on the label? Mrs. mine-his first line then Mr. Mark ______ second line or Mr. and Mrs. Mark _______?

I feel it's a personal preference but will it look silly if I put his and my name separately?

No one is going to care but I guess this is one of the things you run into when you hyphenate. Thanks.

Here is what I found online, but it seems that you don't use Mrs, you use Ms.

Should the wife have retained her maiden name after marriage or if she uses a hyphenated last name the address should read Ms. Jane Smith and Mr. John Doe or Ms. Jane Smith-Doe and Mr. John Doe (Mrs. is not used when a wife uses her maiden name, either alone or hyphenated).

this is how I've seen it done too... Ms. Joan Smith-Barney and Mr. Salomon Barney... etc

i didn't change mine and our return addresses have our names on two separate lines; we just ordered from the bank where our joint account is.
