I'm in the process of writing out invitations right now. I have a couple who are married except the wife kept her maiden name and didn't take the husbands last name. How would i address this?
Ms. __________ Jackson & Mr. ______________ Smith
or
Mrs. _________ Jackson & Mr. ______________ Smith
Not sure how to properly address this. Any help is appreciated!! :) TIA!

Re: Invitation Question
Q. How should I address an invitation to a married couple if the wife has kept her maiden name both socially and professionally?
A. Address the invitation the same way you would address one to a couple who is living together but not married (in other words, any couple with different last names). Names are listed alphabetically, no matter which person (woman or man) comes first. The outer envelope should look like this:
Ms. Samantha Adams Mr. Thomas Sullivan 12345 First Street Anywhere, USA 11234
The inner envelope would read:
Ms. Adams and Mr. Sullivan
hope this helps...

Re: Invitation Question
hey date twin!!!
I had a similar situation and i did
Mr. _____ Jackson & Mrs. ______ Smith
since they are actually married.
In regards to what name goes first with married couples the husband with singles living together the person you're closer to goes first.
