Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee, My friend married, but decided to keep her maiden name. How do I address the envelope when sending something for both of them? Can I get away with "Mr. & Mrs. John Doe", or do I have to include her name separately? Signed, Wondering Dear Wondering, The proper way to address an envelope when two last names are involved is to put both names on the same line if they are married. For example: Ms. Jane Doe and Mr. John Smith Even if a last name is hyphenated, for example Jane Doe-Smith, it is still considered a separate last name. If they are not married, but living together, then put their names on separate lines with Ms. Jane Doe on the first line. |
