[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] just got a wedding invitation from my cousin who is getting married for the first time in his 50s. I was addressed as 
"Mr. and Mrs. (husbands name.)" 
I am appalled.

Because that is what current etiquette says is the proper formal address and that is considered courteous to use.  [/quote]

It's not courteous if the wife never changed her name, and it's not current etiquette because it's not 1950 anymore.

I guess they didn't want to write out Mr. Bob Loblaw and Mrs. Larlina Pendergast and I don't blame them for a married couple. For Christmas cards it's easier to say Loblaw family but Loblaw-Pendergast family might be better unless nobody hyphenates, would that be a faux pas or acceptable? Loblaw and Pendergast family?[/quote]
What is wrong with Mr Loblaw & Mrs Pendergast? Less letters than Loblaw and Pendergast family[/quote]
For holiday cards you are sending it to the whole family and including their kids Blaine, Violetta and Thomas. You don't want to write all those names out so you say family.[/quote]
