1. if you are inviting their husbands it should read Mr. and Mrs. John Doe -- they are married doesn't know if you know their husbands or not

2. To avoid confusion and since she is a BM she should get her own. If not then the outer should read Mr. and Mrs John Doe and Sally Doe

3. Two names Mr. John Doe and Mrs. Jane Smith

Re: addressing envelope - i have 2 problems

ok #1
If you want to only invite the woman you used to work with, then only address the envelope Mrs so-and-so...if you are inviting the couple, then put Mr and Mrs so-and-so

#2
I would send one invite to mr and mrs and another invite to your cousin...that way it is know that the others arent' invited...

#3
I'm not to sure about this one....I had a similar problem, but they weren't married. I just put Mr so-and-so and 'Sandy'
I guess if they are married even though she didn't take his name, she would still be a Mrs JOhn Doe
so I would address it Mr and Mrs John Doe.

Hope that helps
