Outside should say if married 'Mr. and Mrs. John Smith'
Inside envelopes are not necessary. I didn't do them, but some girls do, it depends how crazy you want to drive yourself
But if you do the inside they should be less formal.
if the outside was above and the family say was your aunt and uncle
inside would read 'Aunt Mary & Uncle John'

Re: Addressing Question-Help
I did my envelopes this way:
Outer: Mr. and Mrs. William Smith
Inner: SAME
OR
Outer Mr. William Smith
Inner: Mr. William Smith and Guest
I wanted to keep it all formal

Re: Addressing Question-Help
According to www.verseit.com there are two ways to do the inner envelope. The outer always says 'Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith'. The inner has surnames only, so 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' or if you're very close to them it would say 'Aunt Jane and Uncle Joe'. If an inner envelope is included, the outer should never say 'and family' or 'and guest' since this goes in the inner. Children's names go underneath the parents like this:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith Jennifer and Joseph
Hope I helped.

Re: Addressing Question-Help
I think the inner envelope would depend more on the hosts of the wedding. I did our envelopes as if they are coming from my parents (as the invitation implies)--so they would say 'Al and Susan' instead of Uncle Al and Aunt Susan--because they aren't my parents' aunt or uncle.
