we put on the seating cards exactly how the guest responded. for example, if they wrote- 'Mr. & Mrs. John Smith' that is how it reads on their place card.

I just put mr. and mrs. john smith because we didn't have a lot of room on the cards.

I would be in trouble if I did this - by way of example, just got one that says

'Mr. Uncle Tom and Mrs. Aunt Kath'

I answered on BHB board - I eliminated Mr. & Mrs. all together and did Jane & John Smith.

I answered on BHB but proper etiquette is to have Mr. & Mrs. John Smith. If your wedding is black tie you should absolutely have it that way. But if your wedding is less formal then John and Jane Smith is ok.
