Addressing Shower Invites

Since the invites are going to the ladies... should it be

Mrs. Barbara Smith
Mrs. T Smith (todd being her husbands name)
Mrs. Todd Smith

I thought the first one would be better since it is only going to the wife becuase it is a shower... maybe its not proper???

For the shower I would write Mrs. Barbara Smith-for the wedding, then I would use Mr. and Mrs. T Smith.

Just to avoid confusion I wouldn't put the guys name on it

I would put Ms. Barbara Smith. You're really only supposed to use Mrs. with the guy's name and I think that could get confusing.
