[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I don't always know how to address such envelopes. John and Jane Doe, John Doe and Jane Crow, John and Jane Crow Doe, John and Jane Doe Crow, (or any variation thereof with hyphens), John Crow and Jane Crow Doe. All of these are possibilities and frankly, when I'm addressing several dozen envelopes (or even just one) I don't have the bandwidth to deal with it or what will or won't offend your delicate sensibilities. I am sure there are very few people who are annoying you on purpose and quite a lot who just aren't sure what your preference is and how you want your name to appear on the envelope and whether there will be enough room.[/quote]

Wait, it's that confusing for you? You address it like this: John Smith and Katherine Johnson. You wouldn't use a hyphen if their names aren't hyphenated. You wouldn't use "Jane Crow Doe" unless she is using both of those as a last name. You're making this way harder than it is. If you don't even know what their names are, that's one thing. But if you know that the woman didn't change her last name, you need not get yourself into such a tizzy over it. Just address the letter to the husband and to the wife. Easy. [/quote]
